Hospital Service Price Calculator

The pricing method of the book Hospital Costing and Pricing: full cost → list price → minimum acceptable price → what each payer channel really leaves. Type your three numbers — everything recalculates.

LIST PRICE
= full cost × (1 + mark-up)
MINIMUM ACCEPTABLE PRICE
= full cost ÷ 0.76 — never sell below this
COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO
= 1 ÷ (1 + mark-up)
★ MARK OF BENCHMARKING — private hospitals — a gift from the book: private hospitals' blended cost-to-charge ratio lands near 0.76. Mark-up tiers on cost: drugs ~275% · low-value supplies up to ~400% · mid-value ~70% · implants ~18% · clinical services ~42% · bed-day ~55% — the lowest internationally.

Case Cost & Profit-and-Loss Calculator

The bill-of-items method: cost one case item by item (every drug, supply and implant at its unit cost), add the rate-based layers, then see the full profit and loss of the case — down to its EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation). Edit any blue number, or add your own items.

Defaults are the book's worked case, the laparoscopic cholecystectomy, costed from what it uses (educational figures on a model private hospital): full cost EGP 27,192. The full item-by-item workbook with coded bills of items is in the Shop.

Census Needed to Break Even

Cost–volume–profit: how many cases must the service see before it stops losing money — and how many to reach the profit you want.

★ MARK OF BENCHMARKING — private hospitals — the book's worked private-tertiary-hospital example runs at a 40% contribution margin per case; the plan is only safe while planned volume sits comfortably above break-even.

The cost–volume–profit workbook, with the margin-of-safety discipline, is part of the 60-tool toolkit in the Shop.

EBITDA Impact Calculator

The discipline of the book: a price move and a census move are never read alone — each is carried to revenue AND to EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation), in money and in margin. A price change flows to EBITDA in full; extra census brings its variable cost with it.
