Enter the cost per page ($/page), the number of pages, and the required margin on sale (%) into the Book Price Calculator. The calculator will evaluate and display the Book Price.
Book Price Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Book Price.
BP = (CPP * #P) / (1-RM/100)
- Where BP is the Book Price ($)
- CPP is the cost per page ($/page)
- #P is the number of pages
- RM is the required margin on sale (%)
How to Calculate Book Price?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Book Price.
Example Problem #1
- First, determine the cost per page ($/page).
- The cost per page ($/page) is given as .05.
- Next, determine the number of pages.
- The number of pages is calculated as: 1200.
- Next, determine the required margin on sale (%).
- The required margin on sale (%) is found to be: 5.
- Finally, calculate the Book Price using the formula above:
BP = (CPP * #P) / (1-RM/100)
Inserting the values from above yields:
BP = (.05 * 1200) / (1-5/100) = 63.15 ($)
Example Problem #2
The variables needed for this problem are provided below:
cost per page ($/page) = .35
number of pages = 1500
required margin on sale (%) = 50
This example problem is a test of your knowledge on the subject. Use the calculator above to check your answer.
BP = (CPP * #P) / (1-RM/100) = ($)
