How Brand Premium Pricing Works
Products in the same category can command a higher price than competitors when quality and brand recognition are strong. This calculator combines a quality edge score and a brand awareness score into a weighted premium percentage over the competitor's price.
Formula
- Premium Rate = (Quality Score × 2%) + (Brand Score × 1.5%), capped at 50%
- Suggested Price = Competitor Price × (1 + Premium Rate)
For example, with a $50 competitor price, a quality score of 7, and a brand score of 6, the premium rate is 23%, giving a suggested price of about $61.50.
