Pricing Sensitivity Simulator
Find your revenue-maximizing price point
What is Pricing Sensitivity?
Pricing sensitivity measures how changes in price affect customer demand and purchasing behavior. Understanding this relationship is the foundation of pricing strategy and can have a larger impact on profitability than any other business lever.
A measure of how much demand changes in response to a price change. High elasticity means demand is very sensitive to price.
The percentage of potential customers who complete a purchase at a given price point.
The process of finding the price point that maximizes total revenue by balancing volume and per-unit price.
A specific price at which a product is offered, chosen to optimize for revenue, profit, or market penetration.
Multiply the price by the number of potential customers and their conversion rate to project total revenue.
Higher prices reduce conversion; the exponent models elasticity, with 1.5 representing moderate price sensitivity.

Understanding price sensitivity
Price sensitivity, or price elasticity of demand, measures how much demand changes when you change your price. If a 10% price increase causes a 20% drop in demand, your elasticity is -2.0. Understanding this relationship is the foundation of pricing strategy.
Most businesses leave money on the table with their pricing. Research by McKinsey shows that a 1% improvement in pricing leads to an 8-11% improvement in operating profit — making it the single most powerful lever for profitability.
This simulator uses your elasticity estimates to model revenue and profit across price points. The revenue-maximizing price is not always the profit-maximizing price — the simulator shows both so you can make an informed decision based on your strategic priorities.
