Bulk Pricing Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the total price for bulk purchases is:

\[ TP = (UP \times Q) \times \left(1 - \frac{D}{100}\right) \]

Where:

$ TP $ is the total price after discount (\$)
$ UP $ is the unit price per item (\$)
$ Q $ is the quantity of items
$ D $ is the discount (\%)

What is Bulk Pricing?

Bulk pricing is a discount strategy where items are sold at a reduced price when purchased in large quantities. This approach is commonly used in wholesale and retail operations to incentivize larger purchases and move inventory more quickly. Bulk pricing benefits both the seller, by increasing the volume of sales, and the buyer, by reducing the cost per unit.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Unit Price per Item (UP): $10
Quantity of Items (Q): 50
Discount (D): 10%

Step 1: Calculate the Total Price (TP):

\[ TP = (10 \times 50) \times \left(1 - \frac{10}{100}\right) = 500 \times 0.9 = 450 \]

The total price after discount is $450.
