Group Rate Calculator
The Group Rate Calculator helps determine the adjusted cost per individual in a group after applying a discount. It's a useful tool for businesses, event organizers, and consumers seeking accurate pricing for group bookings.
Formula
The formula to calculate the group rate is:
GRP = IR - (IR × D / 100)
Where:
- GRP = Group Rate
- IR = Individual Rate
- D = Discount Percentage
How to Use
- Enter the individual rate (IR) for one person or item.
- Input the discount percentage (D) offered for the group.
- Click the "Calculate" button to find the group rate.
Example
If the individual rate for a ticket is $50 and the discount for group bookings is 20%, the group rate is calculated as:
GRP = 50 - (50 × 20 / 100) = 50 - 10 = $40
Thus, the group rate per person is $40.
