The rule is piecewise rather than one smooth curve, so it changes direction at fixed markups. The marker shows your price; when the low-price adjustment applies, it is placed at the adjusted markup the rule actually reads.

How this calculator works

Every result on this page follows the same path.

  1. Market Price
  2. Listed Price
  3. Price vs Market
  4. Pricing Rule
  5. Price Acceptance

Low-price adjustment

Below a published Market Price threshold the game adjusts the markup before the pricing rule reads it, so a cheap item and an expensive item can react differently to the same percentage.

Example calculation

A Market Price of $100.00 with a Listed Price of $120.00 is +20% vs Market. The calculator then applies the verified pricing rule to determine Price Acceptance.

Price Acceptance is the pricing-side result only. It does not include whether a customer has enough money.

Selling something expensive?

Price Acceptance is only part of selling an expensive item. A price can pass the pricing rule and still be far above what customers bring into the shop.

Markup calculator questions

What does the Markup Calculator calculate?
Your listed price relative to Market Price, and the pricing-side acceptance result that price produces under the game’s rule.
Is Price Acceptance the chance the item definitely sells?
No. It is only the price check. Customer affordability and other game conditions still apply, and this calculator does not include them.
Does a higher markup always mean fewer sales?
Price Acceptance falls as the price moves further above Market Price, but the rule is piecewise, so the drop differs between markup ranges. Low-priced items are adjusted before the rule reads the markup.
Can I enter a price below Market Price?
Yes. Prices below, at and above Market Price are all calculated the same way.
Why can the same markup behave differently on cheap items?
Below a published Market Price threshold the game adjusts the markup first, so +20% is not read identically at every item price.
What is the best markup?
There is no single best percentage. Different price targets trade acceptance differently, and the absolute price can matter separately where the low-price adjustment applies. Test a specific price instead.
Does the calculator include customer money?
No. Affordability is a separate model, so it has its own tool. Customer Money Calculator
Why does the reverse mode return a maximum price instead of a recommended one?
Because you choose the target. The tool only solves the pricing rule for the target you set.
