The lowest tier still carries 50.39% margin, so it adds volume without subsidy. Tiering works when the cheapest tier stays above cost and arbitrage between tiers is prevented — geo-blocking, regional stock or digital delivery.
How the Country Pricing Tier Calculator works
Tiering works when the cheapest tier stays above cost and arbitrage between tiers can be prevented. A tier below cost is defensible for market entry and indefensible as a permanent structure.

Frequently asked questions
How many pricing tiers should I use?
Three is usually enough — a home tier, a comparable-market tier and a lower-income tier. More tiers add maintenance and arbitrage risk without much additional capture.
How do I assign countries to tiers?
By purchasing power, local competition and cost to serve. Purchasing power alone ignores that shipping to some markets costs several times what it costs to others.
What blended margin should I expect?
Weighted by volume across tiers. A large share of volume in the lowest tier pulls the blended margin down faster than the tier discount suggests.
How do I stop customers buying from a cheaper tier?
Geo-restrict checkout, block foreign shipping addresses in low-tier stores, or keep the gap small enough that the effort is not worth it.
