Tiered Pricing Calculator
Multi-tier revenue calculation.
Calculate total revenue with a tiered pricing calculator across up to 3 tiers. Get per-tier totals and a blended average price per unit.
What this tool does
This calculator models revenue across a multi-tier pricing structure. It computes total revenue by multiplying units by price within each tier, then summing the results. It also calculates the blended price—the average price per unit across all tiers combined. The blended price is useful for understanding your overall cost per unit when pricing varies by volume or service level. The calculator handles up to three pricing tiers, making it applicable to scenarios where different volumes command different unit prices. Results depend most heavily on the volume sold at each tier and the price differential between tiers. The tool provides numerical output for illustration and planning purposes; actual revenue will depend on real-world sales performance and market conditions not captured here.
Quick answer: with the default values, the result is $44,000.00 (Total Tiered Revenue). Adjust the values below for your own figures.

Tiered pricing charges different rates at different volume levels. Tier 1 (first X units) at premium rate; tier 2 (next Y units) at reduced rate; tier 3 (remaining units) at volume rate. Common in SaaS (usage-based), utilities (energy consumption), and wholesale (volume discounts). Blended price per unit naturally decreases as volume grows.
1,000 units tier 1 × 10 = 10,000. 2,000 units tier 2 × 7 = 14,000. 5,000 units tier 3 × 4 = 20,000. Total 8,000 units, 44,000. Blended price 5.50/unit. Customer buying 8,000 pays 45% less per unit than someone buying 1,000 - rewarding volume while protecting margin on small orders.
Tiered pricing captures more consumer surplus than flat pricing. Small buyers pay close to their willingness; large buyers get volume discounts that still exceed marginal cost. Most successful SaaS companies use 3-4 tiers: starter, growth, scale, enterprise. More than 5 tiers creates confusion; fewer than 3 leaves money on the table.
A worked example
With the defaults: tier 1 units of 1,000, tier 1 price of 10, tier 2 units of 2,000, tier 2 price of 7. The tool returns 44,000.00.
What moves the number most
The result responds to Tier 1 Units, Tier 1 Price, Tier 2 Units, Tier 2 Price, and Tier 3 Units.
The formula behind this
Revenue per tier = units × price. Total = sum of tiers. Blended = total ÷ total units.
1,000 × £10 + 2,000 × £7 + 5,000 × £4 = $44,000.00.
Inputs
| Blended Price | $5.50 |
|---|---|
| Tier 1 Revenue | $10,000.00 |
| Tier 2 Revenue | $14,000.00 |
| Tier 3 Revenue | $20,000.00 |
This example uses typical values for illustration. Adjust the inputs above to match a specific situation and see how the result changes.
Sources & Methodology
Methodology
The calculator computes total revenue by applying a tiered pricing model across three separate product or service tiers. For each tier, it multiplies the number of units sold by the price per unit, then sums the results across all tiers to derive total revenue. The model assumes a constant price per unit within each tier and treats all units within a tier as equivalent. It does not account for discounts, fees, taxes, or variations in pricing based on order volume, timing, or customer type. The blended rate is calculated by dividing total revenue by total units sold, providing an average price across all tiers combined. This approach is suitable for straightforward multi-tier billing scenarios where unit counts and tier prices remain stable.
