Price Premium Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the price premium for a given brand.

PP = ((P_A - P_B) / P_B) * 100

Variables:

  • PP is the price premium (%)
  • P_A is the price of Brand A ($)
  • P_B is the price of the benchmark brand ($)

To calculate the price premium, subtract the price of the benchmark brand from the price of Brand A. Divide the result by the price of the benchmark brand and multiply by 100 to get the percentage.

What is a Price Premium?

A price premium is the percentage by which the price of a product exceeds a benchmark price. This benchmark can be the price of a similar product from a competitor or an industry average. Price premiums are often used to gauge the perceived value of a brand or product in the market. A higher price premium indicates that consumers are willing to pay more for a particular brand or product, often due to perceived higher quality, brand loyalty, or other differentiating factors.
