Formula

The profit calculation is based on the following formula:

Profit = (Selling Price × Quantity) - (Purchase Price × Quantity) - Additional Costs

Where:

Selling Price is the price at which you sell the items.
Quantity is the number of items you're trading.
Purchase Price is the cost to acquire the items.
Additional Costs include any travel expenses, taxes, or fees.

This formula helps you determine the net profit from a trade route after accounting for all costs.

Example Calculation

Let's say you want to trade 100 units of a particular item:

Purchase Price: 50 gold per item
Selling Price: 75 gold per item
Quantity: 100 items
Additional Costs: 20 gold for travel

Using the formula:

Profit = (75 × 100) - (50 × 100) - 20 = 7,500 - 5,000 - 20 = 2,480 gold

This means you would make a profit of 2,480 gold from this trade route.

Interpreting Results

The results from the calculator provide several key metrics:

Total Profit: The overall profit from the trade route.
Profit per Item: The profit made from each individual item.
Break-even Point: The quantity needed to cover all costs and start making a profit.

Use these metrics to decide whether a trade route is worth pursuing and how many items you need to trade to make a profit.
