Frequently Asked Questions

The short answers. If yours isn't here, contact us.

Is the calculator really free?

Yes. The calculator — cost floor, breakeven, margins, the discount guardrail and the leverage figure — is free forever, for up to two items, and needs no card.

What is an "item"?

Anything you price: a product, a service offering, or a job template. Your plan sets how many items you can keep under management at once.

What does the AI advisor add?

It understands what you actually sell and where. It builds a tailored cost checklist, maps your local season, estimates how long stock takes to sell, plans your discounts, and reviews your work for gaps.

I bought the book. How do I get my free months?

Buyers of the English paperback redeem three months of Pro, and buyers of the hardcover three months of Business, with their Amazon order number and one question only the physical book can answer. No card is needed.

Do you work in my language?

The entire interface, advisor and reports work in English, Arabic, Spanish, Hindi, Chinese and Japanese, with a proper right-to-left layout for Arabic. Switch language with one tap.

Are my numbers private?

Your figures are yours. They are encrypted and never shown to anyone, except as anonymous aggregates you explicitly consent to.

Which files can I upload?

Excel workbooks (.xlsx) and CSV files, up to 5 MB and 5,000 rows. Our own template is the easiest route; any other list goes through a short "what does this column mean?" step first. Old .xls files and macro workbooks (.xlsm) are refused — save them as .xlsx in Excel first.

Is my spreadsheet stored?

No. The file is read once in memory, the figures are shown to you in a preview, and the file is discarded. Only the rows you confirm are saved to your account — the file itself never touches our storage, our logs or anyone's inbox.

What if my list is bigger than my plan allows?

Rows are imported in the order they appear in your file until your plan's item allowance is full. The rows that did not fit are listed by item code so nothing disappears silently, with a link to upgrade. Uploading the same file again after upgrading brings the rest in.

Where do the fuel prices come from?

Fetched once a day for your country from public sources — official statistics, the energy ministry or a well-known price tracker — and shown with their sources and date. The app proposes what the change does to each item; nothing is applied until you click Apply, and you can type a price from your own receipt instead.

I run a large company or a financial institution. Is this for me?

The app is built for the owner who sets prices alone. For large corporations and financial institutions, Al-Yousifi Economic Consultancy offers customised set-ups, pricing projects, pilots and training — see the Institutions page.

How are my fixed costs shared between my items?

Every item with a monthly volume carries a share of your fixed costs, and the shares add up to 100 percent. By default the share follows planned revenue; in My company you can set the percentages yourself. Nothing is stored: floors, breakeven and profit are recalculated from your current figures every time a page opens, and the dashboard flags any accepted price that no longer covers its floor.
