Formula transparency
The same inputs always produce the same numbers. Here is exactly how each result is calculated.
Market Value
Market Value = Gold Price Per Gram × Weight In Grams × Purity Percentage
Buy Price
Desired Profit Amount = Market Value × Target Profit Percentage
Max Safe Buy Price = Market Value − Total Costs − Desired Profit Amount
Sell Price
Minimum Sell Price = Purchase Price + Total Costs + Desired Profit Amount
Recommended Sell Price = Minimum Sell Price + Small Buffer
Stretch Sell Price = Recommended Sell Price + Negotiation Premium
Deal Check
Expected Profit = Market Value − Total Costs − Offered Price
ROI = Expected Profit / Offered Price
Broker Mode
Gross Spread = Buyer Pays − Seller Receives
Broker Profit = Buyer Pays − Seller Receives − Total Costs
Deterministic by design
Ortick uses deterministic pricing math. AI does not calculate your prices. The same inputs produce the same results.
About gold prices
Ortick always uses the most recent gold price available from the market. It does not claim second-by-second live pricing.
