Pricing power, with the break-even visible.

A simulation instrument for B2B price increases and price elasticity of demand. It computes the exact customer churn your gross margin can absorb before profit declines, removing guesswork and fear from strategic pricing decisions.

B2B Price Elasticity & Break-Even Simulator

Calculate the maximum tolerable customer churn (break-even volume loss) following a price increase. Use your gross margin and price elasticity to determine the exact safety buffer before gross profit declines.

The mathematical foundation draws on microeconomic price theory and empirical pricing strategy:

  • Thomas T. Nagle and Georg Müller (2017): The Strategy and Tactics of Pricing: break-even sales volume formulas and margin elasticity.
  • Hermann Simon and Martin Fassnacht (2019): Price Management: value-based pricing, willingness-to-pay corridors, and elasticity measurement.
  • Robert J. Dolan and Hermann Simon (1996): Power Pricing: How Managing Price Transforms the Bottom Line.
