1. What is the Out The Door Price Calculator?

The Out The Door Price Calculator helps motorcycle game players determine the total virtual cost of a motorcycle purchase, including all additional fees and charges that would apply in a real-world transaction.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• \( Base\ Price \) — The advertised price of the motorcycle in virtual points
• \( Tax\ Rate \) — Virtual tax rate as a percentage
• \( Fees\ Rate \) — Virtual fees rate as a percentage
• \( Dealer\ Markup \) — Virtual dealer markup as a percentage

Explanation: The equation calculates the true cost of purchasing a motorcycle in the game by accounting for all additional virtual costs beyond the base price.

3. Importance of Calculating Total Price

Details: Understanding the total out-the-door price helps players make better purchasing decisions within the game and manage their virtual currency more effectively.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the base price of the motorcycle in virtual points, then adjust the tax rate, fees rate, and dealer markup percentages to match the game's economy settings.
