Price change calculator

Compare current and proposed contribution, the units needed to preserve the current result, and the effect of an expected volume change.

Checked September 18, 2026Excel workbook

The calculator separates price from contribution. Contribution is the selling price minus the direct cost that changes with one additional unit or service.

It shows current total contribution, proposed contribution per unit, the units needed to preserve the current result, and the contribution change at the volume you expect.

Test more than one credible volume result. A calculation does not predict customer behavior, competitive response, or every cost affected by the change.
