    Pricing Guide/Chart with variable pricing increases

    I need to create a pricing chart and need your help for a service I provide.

    Components — The job can be made up of 2 -30 separate pieces (vertical left column). The quantity of items ordered is to be priced at different quantity levels (horizontal top row) 100, 250, 500, 1000, 2500, 5000, 10000, 20000.

    There is a minimum price for this service. The product of any of these two components (pieces x quantity) that is below 10,000 should be $84. From that point I need to be able to adjust pricing for larger quantities by "to be determined" percentages. For example if one job has 12 pieces per item and 8000 total items ordered that equates to 96,000 and at that level the per piece price will be lower than the minimum.

    Your help is appreciated.

    If you feel there is a more efficient method to display this pricing guide, ie. pull down menus, please feel free to make those suggestions.

    Re: Pricing Guide/Chart with variable pricing increases

    I have something started that I can send you but to really make it useable I need to at least know at what levels the discounted per piece rates will take effect.
    Example:
    200 to 9,999 total pieces= $83
    10,000 to 49,999 total pieces= $83 + 2% discount
    50,000 to 99,999 total pieces= $83 + 4% discount
    100,000 to 199,999 total pieces= $83 + 6% discount
    etc. etc. etc.

    Also is it price per piece under 10,000 or is it total.
    Example A: 250 Units * 10 Parts Per Unit = 2500 Total Parts = Minimum Charge $83.00
    Example B: 250 Units * 10 Parts Per Unit = 2500 Total Parts = 2500 Total Parts * Minimum Charge $83.00 = $207,500.00

    If I know the levels that the discounted rates are in effect I can finish and leave it so that you can easily adjust the actual percentages themselves later.

    As well dropdown lists, userforms etc. can all be added after to increase efficiency but a simple table is the easiest way to get you up and running.

    Re: Pricing Guide/Chart with variable pricing increases

    Awesome! Thanks for your help.

    One request before we move ahead. Can we make the minimum price of $84 for price per piece 200-10000? Then start the remaining quantities at 10001+.

    That being said - the per piece price is $0.0084 per piece.

    The subsequent cost breaks are as follows:
    10,001 - 50,000 . . . . . $0.0084 + 10% discount
    50,001 - 100,000 . . . . . $0.0084 + 20% discount
    100,001 - 250,000 . . . . . $0.0084 + 30% discount
    250,001 - 400,000 . . . . . $0.0084 + 40% discount
    400,001 - 600,000 . . . . . $0.0084 + 50% discount

    Just to confirm will I be able to go in and adjust that base price and those discounts?

    Re: Pricing Guide/Chart with variable pricing increases

    Here is a worksheet I came up with... It is semi static.

    The Quantity and number of pieces on here are set but the following areas are able to be adjusted.

    Minimum Service Price
    Price per piece
    Bulk Discount



    There is one large table with the price calculations.


    There is an area at the top with dropdown menus for Pieces and QTY that you can use to select the exactly number of pieces in the project and the quantity ordered.


    The table is also formated to highlight any total that is equal to the total price you selected in your drop down menus. I could probably find a formula to work with the condition formatting to show the exact spot of the calculation but I don't have time today so I figured you can figure it out from the one or two duplicate values.

    Hope this serves your purpose and let me know if there is anything that is wrong with this or if there is something I missed from your post.


    Instead of having the minimum price met at any work below 10,000 pieces I put the If Piece * QTY * $$ (Product Total) < $84 then Total = $84, else Total = Product Total

    Just noticed that you posted your % discount and price breakdown... I will adjust the table tomorrow if this table is what you are looking for.

    Re: Pricing Guide/Chart with variable pricing increases

    This is greatly appreciated and your part is 100% on the money. However, I need to adjust some of the pricing levels and discounts. Once I get a chance to fully review would you be willing to adjust or show me how to do it? For example, I overstated the quantity for which the minimum price is based on. Instead of 10000 it should be closer to 5000 and I need to reconfigure the discounts. I don't want to take advantage of your help so if you don't care to make the adjustments your assistance on tutoring me on how to make them myself would be appreciated.

    Absolutely I can help. The discounts are super easy to adjust, just input any new discount variable for each pricing level into the dark blue cells beside the applicable level. Changing the pricing levels is a little more time consuming but can definitely be done. Just let me know.

    Re: Pricing Guide/Chart with variable pricing increases

    Again, thank you. Your work on this has been great and exactly what I've asked for. However, after further analysis I have more information that should help complete this project. I overlooked a few details that you will need to complete the price guide.

    We need to be able to create the pricing guide with these factors:
    1. Cost per thousand (parts x units) at $18 per
    2. Plus each unit cost of $0.04.
    3. Each order has a set-up cost of $20, no matter what variation of units or parts of the order
    4. The price guide/chart must use these factors, totals of "1" + "2" + "3" to calculate pricing
    5. Any totals of "1" + "2" + "3" below $76 minimum should be increased to the minimum of $76

    Hope this helps. Thanks in advance for any further assistance you can provide.

    Re: Pricing Guide/Chart with variable pricing increases

    I don't understand what you mean by point number 2. So each unit is 4 cents regardless of how many parts there are in it? I guess I don't really understand at all. And I thought that the minimum was $84. Looking at this, it would seem that this an entirely new type of pricing scheme than what I had previously built for you, not just a modification to the previous pricing levels.

    Re: Pricing Guide/Chart with variable pricing increases

    I apologize for any confusion. This is regarding the same pricing guide but as I mentioned I was unclear as to how to best describe the exact factors in calculating the pricing chart. I had to break it down on my end to better understand what I was looking for.

    To answer your question, yes. Each unit will incur a $.04 charge, ie. 150 units will equate to $6 of the total price. In addition $0.018 per total pieces (pieces per unit x number of units). Finally this order as well would incur a $20 set-up fee. I did create a single line formula to calculate the basic pricing, I just don't have the skillset to apply to the chart I need, please see attached.PriceGuide.xlsx
