Should you make that? Google Sheet

Since determining the cost of an item produced has many variables, here's a Google Sheet that one can use to figure out whether its better to buy from the market or produce it themselves.

For one wants to use this to figure out profit from selling on the market, one will need to subtract the VAT cost from gross sales as VAT is NOT included on the sheet.

The sheet will require you to make a copy to open it.

Enter only in the white spaces, as most items are calculated.

Work tax & average wage information can be found on the Country page at the bottom of the page.

There's one tab for Work As Manager "WAM" and another tab for industries that require employees "Employee-Only".

Always is better to produce for yourself, but you need to infest a lot to be profitable. For q1 food is not proditable, but for q2 it is kind of(a little). More companies, more profit. More upgrades, bigger profit.

I wouldn't say "always better", more like "usually better". It really depends on the region bonus and quality level. An Iron Mine or an Oil Well, for example, just doesn't produce enough weapon raw materials to spread out the Work Tax and justify making them vs buying them. A Q1 weapon factory will probably not produce cheaper than the market in present circumstances.

With employee-only industries (Aire weapons' & Houses) it's almost entirely dependent on wages. Some who pays 1000cc per employee has a huge advantage over another paying 3800cc

Correct. I was talking about food companies with max region bonus(193😵. Q1 its not profitable i think and the bigger upgrade the company have, its more profitable. You pay Same tax money, but you produce more. And you don’t need to produce FRM. Its not worth at all to produce FRM.

Nice, I'm going to have a good look at this see what's best for me.

Just one point, I couldn't get it to copy with the like direct - had to remove the copy part from the link and then make a copy within google sheets themselves.
