Opsbench free tools
Put in what one unit actually costs you, including your own hours. Get the floor you must never go below, the price that hits your margin, and the real cost of every discount.
Break even volume is how many you must sell each month before the business earns its first unit of profit.
| Candidate | Price | Margin | Contribution per unit | Break even volume | Profit at expected volume | Safety cushion |

A discount comes off your profit in full, because your costs do not move.
| Discount | Price | Margin | Margin points lost | Contribution per unit | Volume to stand still | Extra volume needed | New break even |

The floor tells you where you stop losing money. It says nothing about what the buyer would pay.
Everything above this line is arithmetic about you. It answers one question only: at what price do I stop losing money. That question has to be answered, because a founder who does not know the floor can agree to a price under it in a moment of pressure, then spend a year calling the resulting exhaustion a marketing problem.
But the floor knows nothing about the buyer. Cost plus pricing carries three failures inside it:
Value pricing in one line: find the money or the hours your buyer keeps because of you, price at a visible fraction of that, and let cost plus be the floor you check the answer against rather than the method you arrive at it with.
