Funding to Reach Parity

The vendor funding required per unit — and in total across forecast units — to restore baseline profitability under the deal.

Net PPP $ Parity
Dollar parity
$5.00
per unit
Total across 1,000 units: $4,998.00

Restores the same profit-per-unit as before the discount.

Net PPM % Parity
Percentage parity
$2.55
per unit
Total across 1,000 units: $2,552.00

Restores the same margin % as before the discount (cheaper for the vendor).

How this works

When Amazon runs a promotion, the deal price reduces the ASP — but your cost stays the same, so absolute profit per unit falls by the full discount amount, and the margin percentage falls even faster because you're measuring a smaller profit against a lower price.

Net cost = Cost × (1 − Trade Terms%)
Deal ASP = Current ASP × (1 − Discount%)
Deal Net PPP = Deal ASP − Net cost + Funding/unit
Deal Net PPM% = Deal Net PPP ÷ Deal ASP × 100
$ Parity funding = Baseline PPP − Deal PPP
% Parity funding = (Baseline PPM% × Deal ASP) − Deal PPP

Dollar parity ($)

Vendor funds the entire discount — profit per unit stays flat, but you sell more units, so total profit still grows.

Percentage parity (%)

Vendor funds just enough to hold the Net PPM% flat. Cheaper than $ parity, and usually what Amazon accepts in deal negotiations.

Note: This calculator models the deal impact at the PPM level only. Amazon Advertising spend, chargebacks, and payment terms are reported separately in Amazon's P&L and are not included here.
