Multi-tier revenue calculation.

Tiered pricing charges different rates at different volume levels. Tier 1 (first X units) at premium rate; tier 2 (next Y units) at reduced rate; tier 3 (remaining units) at volume rate. Common in SaaS (usage-based), utilities (energy consumption), and wholesale (volume discounts). Blended price per unit naturally decreases as volume grows.

1,000 units tier 1 × 10 = 10,000. 2,000 units tier 2 × 7 = 14,000. 5,000 units tier 3 × 4 = 20,000. Total 8,000 units, 44,000. Blended price 5.50/unit. Customer buying 8,000 pays 45% less per unit than someone buying 1,000 - rewarding volume while protecting margin on small orders.

Tiered pricing captures more consumer surplus than flat pricing. Small buyers pay close to their willingness; large buyers get volume discounts that still exceed marginal cost. Most successful SaaS companies use 3-4 tiers: starter, growth, scale, enterprise. More than 5 tiers creates confusion; fewer than 3 leaves money on the table.

A worked example

Try the defaults: tier 1 units of 1,000, tier 1 price of 10, tier 2 units of 2,000, tier 2 price of 7. The tool returns 44,000.00. You can adjust any input and the result updates as you type — no submit button, no reload. That's the real power here: seeing how sensitive the output is to one or two assumptions.

What moves the number most

The result responds to Tier 1 Units, Tier 1 Price, Tier 2 Units, Tier 2 Price, and Tier 3 Units. Not every input has equal weight. Flip one at a time toward extreme values to feel which ones move the needle most for your situation.

The formula behind this

Revenue per tier = units × price. Total = sum of tiers. Blended = total ÷ total units. Everything the calculator does is shown in the formula box below, so you can check the math against your own spreadsheet if you want.

What the score tells you

Headline financial numbers — income, savings, debt — each tell part of the story. This calculation stitches several together into a single read you can track over time. The value is in the direction, not the absolute number.

What this doesn't capture

The score is a composite of the inputs you provide. Life context — job security, family obligations, health, housing — doesn't appear in the math but shapes the real picture. Use the number as a prompt, not a verdict.
