Custom Order Premium at 72% share of premium scope captured: a worked example

This worked example runs the custom order premium numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: 72% share of premium scope captured instead of the typical 100%. Estimate the premium needed for custom configured orders beyond standard option pricing.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Custom configured units on the order: 12 units (held at the documented default)
  • Premium charged per custom unit: 1,850 $ / unit (held at the documented default)
  • Share of premium scope captured: 72 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 100)
  • Fixed custom approval and setup premium: 2,400 $ (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Variable custom order premium = custom configured units × premium required per custom unit × custom premium scope included.
  • total custom order premium works out to 18,384 $ at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • custom order premium per configured unit or quote works out to 1,532 $ / piece at these inputs.
  • variable custom order premium works out to 15,984 $ at these inputs.
  • fixed custom approval and setup premium works out to 2,400 $ at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where share of premium scope captured sits at 100% and the headline result is 24,600 $, this scenario comes in 25.27% below the baseline at 18,384 $.
  • Use it while quoting a custom or non-catalog configuration, or when reviewing whether your custom surcharges are recovering true cost. A result at this level usually justifies acting on the stressed input before touching anything else, because every other figure in the table is downstream of it.
