Grocery Store Simulator – Pricing Guide
In this guide I'll explain how to calculate price increases, and provide you with both a price table and link to an editable excel worksheet. I have only included the items I have unlocked so far, but I will update as I progress/as new updates are released.
Calculating Price Increases
To calculate price increases, use the following formula where RRP = Regular Retail Price, and X = percent increase in decimal form:
- (RRP * X) + RRP = Adjusted Price
I and others seem to have settled on a 27.5% increase before the customers start getting cranky. Using the formula above, a 27.5% price increase looks like this:
- (RRP * 0.275) + RRP = Adjusted Price
As an example, let's calculate the price increase for Milk Carton ($2.99):
-
($2.99 * 0.275) + $2.99 = Adjusted Price
-
($2.99 * 0.275) = 0.82 + $2.99 gives us an adjusted price of $3.81
