Coating Price Breaks: Calculate the Cost of the Whole Order at Each Tier

A lower unit price can still require a larger total cash commitment and more stock. Compare the full order at each available tier rather than selecting the cheapest printed unit price automatically.

Updated · NANOLAB Knowledge

The key distinction

Establish whether the quotation uses one price for all units at a tier or a different structure. Include the relevant delivery and packaging costs, then evaluate the resulting stock quantity against expected use. The calculation should show both unit economics and the total commitment so that neither hides the other.

Practical checks

  1. Confirm how the supplier applies each price tier.
  2. Calculate the complete order cost and expected usable quantity.
  3. Compare storage exposure and realistic demand for the additional units.

Example

Arithmetic example: 100 units at 10 cost 1,000, while 150 units at 9 cost 1,350 before other costs. The lower unit price requires 350 more upfront and adds 50 units. Whether that is attractive depends on their use and the complete supply conditions.

Scope and limits

These figures are illustrative, not a NANOLAB quotation. Do not assume unused stock retains full value indefinitely. Include relevant uncertainty and avoid treating a percentage discount as a guaranteed saving when it changes the quantity being purchased.
