Price Sensitivity Simulator

Find the price that maximizes your profit

Pricing is the single most powerful profit lever in e-commerce — a 1% price improvement can drive an 11% profit increase. This simulator maps your product's demand curve and reveals exactly where revenue, margin, and volume intersect for maximum gain.

You set

Price + Cost + Demand

Simulator runs

17 price scenarios

You get

Revenue & profit curves

Price elasticity modeling

Every product has a price point where demand drops too fast to recover. This tool maps that curve visually so you see the tipping point before it costs you sales.

Revenue hill discovery

Revenue doesn't grow forever with price increases. Find the peak of your revenue curve — the point where price × volume is maximized.

Profit sweet spot

Maximum profit rarely matches maximum revenue. The tool overlays both curves to reveal where margin and volume balance perfectly.

Use cases

Pricing questions this tool answers

Three real-world decisions every product seller faces — modeled in seconds.

"Should I lower my price to sell more?"

Discounting boosts volume but erodes margin. The simulator shows whether extra unit sales compensate for the per-unit loss — often they don't.

"Can I charge a premium for my product?"

Test premium pricing against demand elasticity. If your audience is less price-sensitive (luxury, niche, B2B), higher prices may actually raise profit.

"What's the single best price for my product?"

The simulator scans 17 price points and identifies the one generating maximum monthly profit — your algorithmic 'sweet spot'.

Walkthrough

How the simulator works

A three-step flow that maps your product's entire pricing landscape.

Step 1

Set your baseline

Enter your current price, unit cost, and monthly demand. This establishes the reference point for all simulations.

Step 2

Drag the price slider

Sweep from a 30% discount to a 30% premium. Demand adjusts using elasticity rules — every move recalculates live.

Step 3

Compare curves

Revenue and profit lines appear on the chart. The gap between them reveals margin health at every price level.

Elasticity Note

This model assumes a 10% price increase leads to an 8% demand drop. Competitive markets may be steeper; luxury goods may be flatter.
