# Rate Plan Examples

The following examples are provided as general high-level guidance for rate plans Billing and pricing Tier parameters. For details regarding each rate plan field, see [Working with Rate Plans](ratePlanWorking).

## Example 1: High Use Surcharge Plan

You can create a Rate Plan which charges a premium for high-use customers. For example, in a support call system, charge customers who call fewer than 1000 times $95 per call, but charge customers who call more than 2500 times $375 per call.

* Select **Model**: **Usage based**.
* **Charge** customer **per unit**, and set the **Price On** field to the **Highest Applicable Tier**.
* Leave the **Included Units** field blank.
* Ensure to leave **Decimal Places** as **0**.
* Leave the **Min Fee** and **Max Fee** fields blank.
* Create three Rate Tiers:
  * Tier 1 defines 1-999 (calls) at \$95. **Tier Name: Minimal Use. Starts at unit: 1. Rate Price: 95 USD**.
  * Tier 2 defines 1000-2499 (calls) at \$275; **Tier Name: Moderate Use**. **Starts at unit: 1000** (this will update the end unit of the previous tier to 999). **Rate Price: 275 USD**.
  * Tier 3 defines more than 2500 calls at \$375. **Tier Name: Excessive Use** . **Starts at unit: 2500**(this will update the end unit of the previous tier to 2499). **Rate Price: 375 USD**.

## Example 2: High Use Discount Plan

You can create a Rate Plan which offers a discount for greater volume, but prices items according to a stepped, rather than sliding, pricing structure. For example, buy the first 100 stickers at $.10 each, and get the second hundred at $.05 each.

**Note:** Stickers may be purchased in any number, with a flat fee model Rate Plan, the charge levied will always be the Rate Price for the applicable Tier.

* Select **Model**: **Usage based**.
* **Charge** customer a **Flat Fee**, and set the **Price On** to **Each Respective Tier**.
* Leave the **Min Fee** and the **Max Fee** fields blank.
* Leave **Included Units** blank, and select **Decimal Places** as **0**.
* For Tier 1, define **Tier Name: Tier1**. **Starts at unit: 1** **Rate Price: 10 USD**.
* For Tier 2, define **Tier Name: Tier2**, **Starts at unit: 101** (this will update the end unit of the previous tier to 100). Set **Rate Price** to **5 USD**.

**Note:** With this Rate Plan model, customers will be entitled to unlimited access once they reach the highest Tier.

## Example 3: Bulk Discount Licensing Plan

Create a Licensing Plan which charges $295 each for the first 5 seats, and $275 for each additional seat.

* Select **Model: License based**.
* **Charge** customer **per unit**, and set the **Price On** field to the **Each Respective Tier**.
* Leave both the **Min Fee** and the **Max Fee** fields blank.
* Leave **Included Units** blank, and select **Decimal Places** as **0**.
* For Tier 1, enter **Starts at unit: 1\*\*\*\*Rate Price: 295 USD**, and .
* For Tier 2, enter **Starts at unit: 6**(this will update the end unit of the previous tier to 5). Set **Rate Price** to **275 USD**
