# The volume discount

> The per-athlete price drops as your coach-paid count grows: the full curve

# The volume discount

When you cover athletes as [coach-paid athletes](/coaching/billing/coach-paid-athletes), the per-athlete price drops as your coach-paid count grows. The base price is the standard Saturday athlete subscription, \$12.99/mo, and the discount comes off that.

## The curve

| Coach-paid athletes | Discount | Price per athlete |
| ------------------- | -------- | ----------------- |
| 1–9                 | 0%       | \$12.99           |
| 10–19               | 5%       | \$12.35           |
| 20–49               | 10%      | \$11.70           |
| 50–99               | 15%      | \$11.05           |
| 100–199             | 20%      | \$10.40           |
| 200–299             | 30%      | \$9.10            |
| 300–599             | 40%      | \$7.80            |
| 600+                | 50%      | \$6.50            |

Crossing a threshold reprices every coach-paid athlete on your invoice. **[Coach Subscription](https://coach.saturday.fit/admin/subscription)** plots the same curve.

## How it's counted

* The count is your **coach-paid athletes**: the athletes you cover beyond your plan's included seats. Included-seat athletes are already covered by your plan fee, your own subscription never counts, and athletes who pay for themselves never count.
* Your discount is set at the start of each billing cycle and stays uniform across all your coach-paid athletes for that cycle.
* The roster's seat breakdown shows the current count, the discount it earns, and what covering one more would cost.
* The same curve applies to **org-paid** athletes, counted against the organization.

## Worked example

You are on **Head Coach**, which includes 5 seats, and you cover **17 athletes** in total:

* The first 5 sit on included seats, covered by your \$49.99/mo plan fee.
* The remaining **12** are coach-paid add-ons. Twelve lands in the 10–19 bracket, so each is discounted 5%, at \$12.35/mo.
* Covering 8 more takes your coach-paid count to 20, and every coach-paid athlete moves to the 10% bracket at \$11.70/mo.
