FormulaThe calculator uses simple but effective formulas to determine your market outcomes:
* **Market Tax:** Sale Price × Tax Rate
* **Net Sale:** Sale Price − Market Tax
* **Profit:** Net Sale − Purchase Cost
* **Profit Margin:** (Profit / Net Sale) × 100
* **Break-Even Price:** Purchase Cost / (1 − Tax Rate)
- **1. Calculate the Market Tax:** The market tax is a percentage of your planned sale price. For a 3% tax rate on 100,000,000 gold, the calculation is: Tax = 100,000,000 × 0.03 = 3,000,000 gold. This is the amount the market will deduct from your sale.
- **2. Calculate the Net Sale:** This is the actual amount of gold you will receive after the market tax is taken. Net Sale = Sale Price − Market Tax = 100,000,000 − 3,000,000 = 97,000,000 gold. This is the gold that lands in your inventory.
- **3. Calculate the Profit:** Your profit is the net gold you receive minus your initial investment (purchase cost). Profit = Net Sale − Purchase Cost = 97,000,000 − 75,000,000 = 22,000,000 gold. This represents your pure gain from the transaction.
- **4. Calculate the Profit Margin:** This shows your profit as a percentage of the net sale, indicating the efficiency of your trade. Profit Margin = (Profit / Net Sale) × 100 = (22,000,000 / 97,000,000) × 100 ≈ 22.68%.
- **5. Calculate the Break-Even Price:** This is the absolute minimum price you need to sell the item for to cover your purchase cost without incurring a loss, after tax. Break-Even Price = Purchase Cost / (1 − Tax Rate) = 75,000,000 / (1 − 0.03) = 75,000,000 / 0.97 ≈ 77,319,587.63 gold. You must sell for at least 77,319,588 gold to break even.
| Input/Output | Value (Gold) | Percentage |
|---|
| **Sale Price** | 100,000,000 | |
| **Tax Rate** | | 3% |
| **Purchase Cost** | 75,000,000 | |
| Market Tax | 3,000,000 | |
| Net Sale | 97,000,000 | |
| Profit | 22,000,000 | |
| Profit Margin | | 22.68% |
| Break-Even Price | 77,319,588 | |
Selling your +7 Raptor for 100,000,000 gold appears to be a very favorable deal. You stand to make a substantial 22,000,000 gold profit, which translates to a healthy profit margin of over 22%. This means that for every 100 gold you receive after tax, approximately 22.68 gold is pure profit. Crucially, your calculated break-even price is significantly lower than your planned sale price. This provides a comfortable buffer, allowing you flexibility to adjust your listing price if market conditions change slightly, without risking a loss. Always verify these numbers before listing valuable items to secure your earnings.
