Did a quick search of the forums, and there didn't seem to be one of these already, so I made one~

What is it?
It is a spreadsheet which will calculate either:

• the selling price to get a certain % profit or
• how much profit a certain selling price would give you (in gems)

How does it work?

1. select skin or accent from the dropdown
2. enter required blueprint quantities
3. enter either a profit margin (%) or selling price (gems) (don't enter both at once)
4. read the result

It will also break down the result into total and per unit. All the maths is handled for you, you just need to plug in the numbers you need. I think it will be especially useful for anyone wanting to spread the cost of multiple skins/accents across the entire batch, e.g a single print of one skin and 5 copies of a second all sold for the same unit price.

There are two copies of the calculator in the sheet, so two people can use it at once. If you think there really needs to be more copies in there (i.e. always someone else using it), just let me know and I can add more in~

Let me know if you find this helpful~

Updates/Bugs/Known Issues/Fixes

Known issues:
Issue: Entering both a profit margin % and a unit price will make the calculator try to use both values, which will give some weird results. FIX: delete one of these values

@DeviBrigard


When I try to use the Unit price section, I click on line 11, 5 blueprints and the price for those blueprints is set to 1750 and can't be changed, when they are 3500g. I tried to change it to skin, and it won't do that either. I'm trying to figure it out for a skin not an accent. Thank you!

@Feral71 That's the accent price, switch the dropdown on line 4 to skin for the 3500 price~

@DeviBrigard it won't let me, every time I try to change it to skin I get the following message that pops up:

@Feral71 Looks like the permissions weren't set right, should be fixed now~

@DeviBrigard Thank you so much! Sorry for all the trouble! :(

@Feral71 its alright, thanks for catching the issue~
