Discount Floor Price Check
Can a rep give this discount without escalating? This check answers yes or no. Sales managers, deal desks, and founders set a floor as a percent of list price, enter the price the customer is asking for, and get an Approve or Stop decision against that floor, along with the floor price itself.

What this sales tool gives you
The output shows the decision, the floor price, and the requested price. When a request falls short, it states exactly how far under the floor it sits, which gives the conversation a concrete number: either the customer moves up by that amount or the deal goes to whoever can approve an exception.
What you enter
- Currency: USD by default, or EUR or GBP
- List price, in your currency
- Floor, as a percent of list from 0 to 100 (80 means the price cannot fall below 80% of list)
- Requested price: the price the customer or rep is proposing, in your currency
Worked example
In the tool's example, list price is $100 and the floor is 80% of list, so the floor price is $80. The requested price is $85, which is at or above $80, so the decision is Approve. Had the request been $75, the decision would be Stop, and the tool would report that the price is $5 under the floor.
How does the discount floor check work?
Floor price = list price × floor percent ÷ 100.
If the requested price is at or above the floor price, the decision is Approve. If it is below, the decision is Stop, and the tool shows the gap: floor price − requested price. The check compares prices only; it does not approve a contract, look at margin, or consider payment terms.
Tips before you use the result
- Set the floor from margin, not habit: work back from your cost so the floor percent protects a minimum gross margin.
- Use per-unit prices for both list and requested price, or both as deal totals; mixing the two gives a meaningless decision.
- Keep different floors for different products or tiers rather than one company-wide percent.
- When the answer is Stop, trade the gap for something of value, such as a longer term or upfront payment, instead of simply splitting it.
Frequently asked questions
What is a price floor in sales?
A price floor is the lowest price a seller will accept, usually set as a percent of list price. Below it, a rep cannot close without an exception from a manager or deal desk. Here you type the floor as a percent, such as 80, and the calculator turns it into a price: at a $100 list price, the floor is $80.
How do I convert a maximum discount into a floor percent?
Subtract the maximum discount from 100. A policy that allows up to 20% off list becomes a floor of 80% of list. A 15% maximum discount becomes an 85% floor. Enter that number in the floor field, and any requested price below the resulting floor price comes back as Stop.
Does an Approve result mean the deal is approved?
No. Approve only means the requested price is at or above the floor you set. The tool does not check margin, contract terms, payment timing, or who has authority to sign. Treat it as a quick guardrail for discount requests, and keep your normal approval process for the contract itself.
Do I have to log in to use the discount check?
No login and no sign-up. Your last list price, floor, and requested price are remembered by your browser on this device, so a deal desk can keep its usual floor loaded. Clear resets the form, and Copy output gives you a text version for a deal note.

Forecast, Decoded: What It Actually Means
A forecast is a prediction of how much a team or company will sell, earn or spend in a coming period, usually a month or a quarter. In sales it is the number reps and managers expect to close, built from the deals in the pipeline and judgment about which ones will really sign, and it is updated as deals move.
MRR & ARR, Decoded: What It Actually Means
MRR, or monthly recurring revenue, is the predictable income a business expects to earn every month from active subscriptions or contracts. ARR, or annual recurring revenue, is the same idea on a yearly scale, often calculated as MRR times twelve. Both leave out one-time fees, setup charges and other revenue that will not repeat.
