How to use it
- Enter your cost and target margin.
- Add only the discount, tax and channel assumptions you have evidence for.
- Review the deterministic metrics and edit the explanation before exporting.

A quick guide
The answer is only useful when you know what it includes and what it leaves out.
List price = (target net revenue + shipping) ÷ (1 − expected discount − channel fee); tax remains a user-entered arithmetic assumption.
Use the metrics to compare scenarios, then verify channel fees, applicable tax and customer willingness to pay.
Make it concrete
A ₹600 cost, 40% target contribution margin, 10% expected discount, 5% channel fee and ₹20 shipping assumption produce a ₹1,200 list-price scenario.

Questions
No. The deterministic arithmetic produces the scenario; AI only drafts explanations and review prompts.
No. Any tax field is a user-supplied arithmetic input, not a determination of applicable GST or income tax.
