About the Independent Pharmacy Simulator
Model prescription volume and front-end retail to see how thin Rx margins are carried by OTC sales.
It's built for directional planning: change any assumption and watch the whole projection move, the way a seasoned operator pressure-tests a plan before committing capital. Everything is computed live in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere.
How the Independent Pharmacy Simulator Works
The model takes 5 assumptions and returns 3 headline metrics plus a full breakdown. Here is exactly what goes in and what comes out — no black box.
The Inputs
| Assumption | Example value |
|---|---|
| Scripts / day | 250 |
| Gross profit / script | $12 |
| OTC sales / month | $40,000 |
| OTC margin | 35% |
| Monthly fixed | $55,000 |
Worked Example

The Operator's Read
Reimbursement pressure and DIR fees keep squeezing prescription margins — which is why the profitable independents lean on the front-end (OTC, supplements, services). Script volume brings people in; retail keeps the lights on. Educational only.
Assumptions & Limitations
- •The model is deterministic: it projects your inputs forward with clear arithmetic, not a Monte-Carlo or probabilistic forecast. It shows one scenario at a time — run several to bracket a range.
- •Defaults are illustrative benchmarks, not your business. Replace every field with your real numbers before drawing conclusions.
- •It abstracts away taxes, financing, seasonality, and one-off events unless a field explicitly captures them. Treat the output as a directional estimate.
- •This is an educational tool, not financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Validate real decisions with a qualified professional.
