How to calculate wholesale price from your retail price
Multiply the retail price by one minus the discount for the quantity tier: per-unit price = retail x (1 − discount). The calculator above applies three tiers to whatever retail price you enter. On its default of ₹1,000: 10–50 units at 15% off is ₹1,000 x 0.85 = ₹850 a unit; 51–200 units at 25% off is ₹750; 201 units or more at 40% off is ₹600. An order of 100 units at the middle tier is 100 x ₹750 = ₹75,000, against ₹1,00,000 at retail. Orders under 10 units are not discounted.
Tiered pricing calculator: check every tier against your cost
A tier is only safe if its per-unit price stays above what one piece costs you to buy and deliver. Take an example landed cost of ₹500 a piece (a figure for illustration, not a benchmark). At ₹850 the first tier earns ₹350 a unit; at ₹750, ₹250; at ₹600 the deepest tier earns ₹100, which is 16.7% of the price. If you also pay the shipping on a bulk order, take it off before you compare. Work out the landed cost per piece first, with inbound shipping and packaging in it, and set the deepest discount from that, not from a competitor’s price list.
Bulk discount calculator: percentage off or a fixed amount off
A percentage discount scales with the price: 25% off ₹1,000 is ₹250 off, and 25% off ₹400 is ₹100 off. A fixed discount is the same rupee amount on every unit, so it cuts deeper into cheap items than expensive ones. To turn one into the other, divide the rupee discount by the retail price: ₹250 off ₹1,000 is 25%. The calculator works in percentages; quote buyers whichever form your price list already uses, and keep it the same across tiers.
Which tiers does this calculator use?
The tier breaks (10, 51 and 201 units) and the discounts (15%, 25% and 40%) are fixed StitchMagic defaults, not a market standard; only the retail price is editable. If your own tiers differ, apply retail x (1 − discount) to each by hand, then check the deepest tier against your cost as above. Write the minimum order quantity, payment terms and who pays shipping on the price list you send, so the buyer reads the tier price the way you meant it.
