How it works
- We convert fixed monthly cost into a per-unit cost by dividing by monthly units.
- We add per-unit variable cost to get all-in cost per unit.
- We solve for price using your target gross margin: price = cost / (1 - margin).
FAQ
What is usage-based pricing?
Usage-based pricing charges customers based on consumption (calls, events, GB, minutes) instead of seats or flat tiers.
What should I use for cost per unit?
Use your marginal cost for one unit (compute time, bandwidth, storage requests, vendor fees) in your chosen currency.
Why does the required unit price change so much?
Fixed costs get spread across monthly units. Lower volume means higher fixed cost per unit and a higher required price to hit the same margin.
