Yea the crappy thing is the valuation. it would have been nice if they had been updating the market value all along. Then there would not have been this major spike.

You forgot a very, very critical tax point in here that =SOMEONE= is going to have to pay: P1 export.

Your assumption is that there is no initial export of the P1 (I guess you're assuming market purchase?) If you are running P1 harvest planets too, you need to add in another 4000 isk per P2 factor.

24 factories * 10,500 isk/cycle * 24 hours = 6,048,000 isk per day in taxes.

Hisec PI => nerfed. Hard.

I've compared the old taxes to the new ones. the minimum increase was 270%, and that was for the highest tier.

Here's the old taxes per unit for export:
P0: 0.1
P1: 0.76
P2: 9.0
P3: 600.0
P4: 50000.0

and here's the new taxes per unit for export at 10%:
P0: 0.5
P1: 50.0
P2: 900.0
P3: 7000.0
P4: 135000.0

So the new ones(at 10%) compared to the old, its really:
P0: 500%*old
P1: 6579%*old
P2: 10000%*old
P3: 1167%*old
P4: 270%*old


These increases will be interesting to watch. This'll increase the cost of new POS's, then trickle down to moon goo, then T2 stuff. I foresee lots of complaints.

Lets see...right now I can sell coolant at around 7000 a unit. It costs me 9000 per unit to export.


hmmmm

Add a zero to the end of the robotics, uranium, and mech part prices, then recalculate ... the effect of the PI change is to double the price of the Tier 1 base commodity. Factor that into the price of all other tiers and you get the real impact of the change.

Howvever, as of last night the tax on importing 200K isk worth of T1 raw material to a planet is 100K ... so the effects are actually far more significant.

Prior to the increase my T1 item is say 2isk to buy based on its low tax on export
The real world change means that my 2 isk item will rise to 3.5 or 4 isk due to the doubling of the export tax add another 1 for the import tax and my base price is now 4.5 or 5 isk.

So my P2 item which previously had a base cost of 3000 *2 = 6k now has a base cost of 3000 * 4.5 = 15k (approx)
Assuming that previously the T2 sold for 10k to make a profit I now need to sell for 20k (ignoring the change in T2 tax)
my 80 T2 items that previously cost 80k now cost 160K (ignoring tax change) so I now sell for 200k from 100k previously
my 12 T3 items that previously cost 120K now cost 240K(ignoring tax change) so i now sell for 300K as opposed to 150K

Whether you do this on a single planet is irrelavent - it all harks back to the "its free coz I mine it argument" its not. If you sell it for less than the cost to produce then its a loss, even if you're isk balance is posative after producing it.

When you say a tax increase you need to say the amount the taxes went up by, as in the taxes used to be 1%, now they are 10%, sp they went up 9%. When the government says theyre increasing taxes by 2%, they do not mean you will pay 35.7% instead of 35%, you will pay 37%. saying the tax went up 1000% to 10% total is a misleading and moronic approach to presenting numbers.

Furthermore, using the above example. you need to do percant change formula which looks like this:

(110-100.1)/110 = .09 or 9% increase.
