- Enter discount, expected promotion volume and extra campaign cost.
- Compare promotion contribution with the baseline.
Reading your result
Change is promotion contribution minus baseline contribution. A negative change means this scenario earns less contribution despite any higher volume.
How this works
Compare (price − cost) × units; promotion subtracts extra campaign cost.
Use the units shown beside each field. For monetary amounts, use one currency throughout; calculations do not convert currencies. Results normally display up to two decimal places. Nonzero values below 0.01 use up to six significant digits; values below 0.000001 use scientific notation (for example, 1E-7 means 0.0000001). Rankings use unrounded values, so displayed scores can look equal without being tied. CSV downloads retain numeric precision. Monetary rounding uses half-away-from-zero. Inputs or results beyond supported precision are rejected.
Assumptions & limits
Volume is an assumption, not a forecast. A promotion may lose money even when revenue increases.
Required numeric fields reject blank, malformed and out-of-range values; negative values are allowed only for inventory position. Whole quantities are validated where units must be indivisible.
Results are planning aids based on the values you enter. Check important decisions and documents before using or sharing them.
