Planning model, not personalized financial advice. Your inputs remain in your browser.

Calculation method

Promotional units sold = min(purchased units, baseline units × (1 + lift)). Compare promotional contribution net of campaign with baseline contribution; show unsold stock at cost separately.

Assumptions and limitations

  • Example inputs are editable scenarios, not Aryo results or independently verified industry benchmarks.
  • Use net collected sales and avoid double-counting returns, commissions or pass-through charges. Demand and customer behavior require validation.
