Effective dateA specific date, not "soon" or "next month"

ContactA named person, phone or email for questions

The percentage formula

% increase = (new price − current price) ÷ current price × 100. The overall figure uses the sum of all current prices and the sum of all new prices, which weights each item by its price.

Tips

  • Send the notice from a real person and keep the subject line plain: "Pricing update for … effective …".
  • Check subscription terms, contracts and any local rules about notice before you send.
  • Tell your team first so they can answer questions consistently.
  • Consider grandfathering long-time customers for a few months; it is often cheaper than losing them.
  • Follow up a week before the effective date with a short reminder.

Frequently asked questions

How much notice should I give for a price increase?

30 days is a common minimum for consumers, and 60–90 days is typical for business customers and annual contracts. Always check your contracts and terms of service: some require a specific notice period or written notice before prices can change.

What should a price increase letter include?

The new price and the current price, the date the change takes effect, a short honest reason, what (if anything) the customer can do, such as locking in the old rate, and how to contact you with questions. Thanking customers for their business helps the message land well.

Should I explain why prices are going up?

Usually yes. A brief, honest reason, such as higher material costs or investment in better service, helps customers understand. Keep it short and avoid over-apologizing. You can choose not to give a reason, but the letter may then feel more abrupt.

How do I calculate the percentage price increase?

Percentage increase = (new price − old price) ÷ old price × 100. A change from $45 to $49 is a 8.9% increase. For several items the calculator also shows the overall change based on the totals.

How can I reduce customer churn when raising prices?

Give plenty of notice, explain the value customers receive, offer a way to lock in the current price (prepaying or an annual plan), and make it easy to ask questions. Raising prices in modest, predictable steps is usually received better than rare large jumps.
