Your next operating decision

How much more volume must a discount generate?

Shows the additional unit volume required to preserve current total contribution. It does not predict demand.

Example figures loaded. Choose ‘Use my own figures’ to start a blank scenario. Currency changes labels; it does not convert your figures.

Illustrative scenario · GBP

Extra volume needed to hold contribution

20%
Discounted price
£18.00
Current contribution per unit
£12.00
Discounted contribution per unit

Required volume multiplier
1.2

This is the minimum volume uplift needed to preserve total contribution. It does not predict whether the discount will create that demand.

Next action

Require a credible demand case before approving the discount.

Check against: Current net price, direct cost, discount terms and comparable demand history.

  • Discounted price = current price × (1 − discount rate).
  • Unit contribution = selling price − direct cost.
  • Required volume multiplier = current contribution ÷ discounted contribution.
