Open Economic Model

We use a transparent Cost-Plus Pricing Algorithm.
Here is exactly how every Euro is allocated.

The Pricing Formula

Unlike traditional logistics firms that rely on opaque variable margins, Flytogood operates as a fixed-margin broker. We calculate the final price \( P_{total} \) using a reverse-engineering method to ensure solvency while minimizing cost to the shopper.

$$ P_{total} = \frac{(C_{item} + R_{traveler} + B_{bank} + \frac{M_{net}}{1 - T_{tax}}) + F_{stripe}}{1 - S_{stripe}} $$
1. Pass-Through Capital

\( C_{item} + R_{traveler} \)
Funds held in escrow. This is the Item Cost plus the Traveler's Reward. We generate €0.00 profit on this volume.

2. Liquidity Cost

\( B_{bank} \) = €7.00
The fixed banking cost to execute a secure international wire transfer (SEPA/SWIFT) to the traveler.

3. Net Margin

\( M_{net} \) = 5%
Our strict operating margin. We take exactly 5% of the transaction volume to maintain the platform.

4. Fiscal Burden

\( T_{tax} \) = 37%
Mandatory tax regimen. We must collect a gross fee so that after paying 37% tax, the 5% margin remains intact.

5. Payment Friction (Stripe)

\( F_{stripe} \) = €0.30
Fixed transaction fee charged by the payment gateway per successful charge.

\( S_{stripe} \) ≈ 4.9%
Variable processing fee, including assessment charges and currency conversion buffers.
