How this calculator works
The answer does not change between Quick and Detailed. This is the professional finance underneath it — the formula, assumptions and mechanics you can inspect when you want the extra detail.
Per-tier profit
Per-tier profit = (price − variable cost) × units − overhead. Each tier's profit at expected demand and overhead share — the right metric for picking the right tier to lead with.
Tier ranking
Largest profit tier wins. Pick #1 by expected demand, not the highest-margin tier — per-unit margin is often a poor guide if the demand shifts are large.
