Percent pricing

In Zenskar, percent pricing is a pricing strategy in which a product is priced according to the following rules:

• Case 1: If the product is metered, it is priced at a percentage of the selected billable metric, measured in the currency configured in the contract. Refer to this section for details.
• Case 2: If the product is not metered, it is priced at a percentage of the quantity, measured in the currency configured in the contract. Refer to this section for details.

Case 1: A metered percentage-based product

• Let us take Delivery charges as an example of a metered percentage-based product.

• Let us assume that a billable metric named Compute is attached to the product. Compute returns the number of units shipped in a given billing cycle.

• Let us calculate delivery charges as a percentage of the value returned by Compute.

  In general, for metered percentage-based product, the following equation hold true:
  Amount contributed by the percentage-based product to the invoice = (Percent * Billable metric) / 100
  
  Therefore,
  Delivery charges (USD) = (Percent * Compute) / 100
  

  
  

• Let us assume that Compute reports 100 units being shipped in the given billing period.

The delivery charges for the above example can be calculated as shown below:

Delivery charges (USD) = (5 * 100) / 100 = USD 5

Case 2: A non-metered percentage-based product

• Let us continue with Delivery charges as an example of a percentage-based product. However, in this example, Delivery charges is a non-metered product.

• Delivery charges being a non-metered product, the quantity is predefined in the product.

• Let us calculate delivery charges as a percentage of the predefined quantity configured in the product.

  In general, for non-metered percentage-based product, the following equation hold true:
  Amount contributed by the percentage-based product to the invoice = (Percent * Quantity) / 100
  
  Therefore,
  Delivery charges (USD) = (Percent * Quantity) / 100
  

• Let us assume that a quantity of 100 units were shipped in a given billing period, per product definition.

The delivery charges for the above example can be calculated as shown below:

Delivery charges (USD) = (5 * 100) / 100 = USD 5
