FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about pricing strategy, margins, and cash flow.

What is a pricing strategy calculator?
A pricing strategy calculator helps you set the right selling price for your products or services by combining your cost, your industry's typical margin, and your chosen pricing approach (premium, volume, or balanced). It removes the guesswork from pricing decisions.
How are recommended margins determined per industry?
Margins are based on industry benchmarks: retail averages 25–55%, e-commerce 20–50%, restaurants 35–65%, agencies 25–55%, and other services 25–50%. The calculator picks the right band based on the strategy you select.
What's the difference between high-price/low-volume and low-price/high-volume?
High-price/low-volume targets fewer customers willing to pay a premium and yields larger margins per sale. Low-price/high-volume relies on selling more units at thinner margins. The balanced approach sits between the two and is the most common starting point.
Is this pricing calculator really free?
Yes — completely free. No signup, no credit card, no email. Use it as often as you want, on any device. We built it as a standalone tool to help business owners make better pricing decisions.
How does the cash flow projection work?
After adding one or more items, click "Create Cash Flow Scenario" to enter your starting balance, monthly fixed and variable costs, and expected sales volumes. The calculator then projects your revenue, costs, and net cash flow for the next 12 months — so you can see how your pricing decisions affect runway and break-even.
How is this different from a break-even calculator?
A break-even calculator tells you the minimum revenue needed to cover your costs. A pricing strategy calculator tells you what price to charge and how that price interacts with your cash flow over time. Use both together: this tool to set prices, then our break-even calculator to validate the volume needed to be profitable.
