Calculation notes
How the result is calculated
Whole packs = ceil(requested units / units per pack). Covered units = packs × units per pack; surplus capacity = covered − requested. Subtotal = packs × entered pack price. Displayed cost per requested unit = subtotal / requested, rounded to cents, for comparison only. Assumes positive whole units and indivisible packs; actual billability, usage permissions, refunds, expiry, tax and fractional packs are outside this entered model.

An exact pack boundary
100 requested units with 50-unit packs requires two packs. There is zero surplus capacity; at the same price the subtotal is USD 400.
Questions about this calculation
Can I charge for the surplus units separately?
Not from this calculation. The model prices whole packs; separately charging surplus units could count the same capacity twice. Follow actual approved terms.
Does surplus capacity roll over?
The tool does not decide rollover, expiry or future usage rights. Record the actual agreement separately.
How to use it
1
Enter positive whole requested units and units included in one pack.
2
Enter the independently approved price for one whole pack.
3
Review pack count, covered units and surplus capacity against the actual service agreement.
Why it helps
Make rounding up to a whole pack explicit.
Separate requested units from pack capacity.
Preserve per-pack pricing rather than substituting a unit price.
