Enter the total number of game copies sold, the price per game ($), and the total development cost ($) into the calculator to determine the Game Profit.
Game Profit Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Game Profit.
GP = CS * PPG – DC
- Where GP is the Game Profit ($)
- CS is the total number of game copies sold
- PPG is the price per game ($)
- DC is the total development cost ($)
How to Calculate Game Profit?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Game Profit.
Example Problem #1
- First, determine the total number of game copies sold. In this example, the total number of game copies sold is given as 10000 .
- Next, determine the price per game ($). For this problem, the price per game ($) is given as 50 .
- Next, determine the total development cost ($). In this case, the total development cost ($) is found to be 25000.
- Finally, calculate the Game Profit using the formula above:
GP = CS * PPG – DC
Inserting the values from above yields:
GP = 10,000 * 50 – 25,000 = 25,000.00 ($)
Example Problem #2
The variables needed for this problem are provided below:
total number of game copies sold = 60000
price per game ($) = 59.99
total development cost ($) = 30000
Entering these values and solving gives:
GP = 60,000 * 59.99 – 30,000 = 3,569,400 ($)
