analytics and models that brands and researcherscan look at. But some of the most
Commonly used pricing analyticstypes are listed below with examples.
Pricing sensitivity or willingnessto pay (WTP)

pay (WTP)
guotient ofCustomers. Iin this pype you can very quicklý
gauge what a customer is willing to pay and the features
they are willing to pay for, tradeoffson features., etc.

Average revenue per user (ARPU
The average revenue per user (ARPU) is the net value of the revenue generated from each user for a pre-defined period.
ARPU is calculated by dividing the total marginal revenue by the number of users. The higher ARPU, the better chance
that the company is able to extract more cash in the future. ARPU also reveals the relative value of the product.
ARPU allows organizations to calculate if their pricing model suits their market, competitive benchmarking, value analysis,

and more.
An example of this pricing model a
phone manufacturer that launches muitiple phone variants a year
is across different
features and price points. Higher the ARPU, the higher the profitability of the brand.

Customer lifetime value (CLV) and customer acquisition cost (CAC) are important metrics in pricing analytics research

No Profit No Loss

Formula:-Break Even =Total fixed Cost/Contribution


Eg. Sale Price-500, Variable cost-300& Fixed cost -2,00,000
Break Even imit 2,00,000 /200 1000 units
i.e business should sell 1000 units or Sale Price above Rs 500 to earn profit

Formula -Break Even = (Total fixed Cost/ Production units) +Variable cost
Eg. Fixed cost-Rs.50,000, Variable cost 10/unit & Sales Plan 10,000 units
Break Even Limit = (50,000/10,000)+10 15/-
