Methodology & Mathematical Formulas for Derived Metrics

To guarantee empirical reproducibility and rigorous editorial attribution, all published index metrics follow explicit mathematical definitions:

1. Global Average Regional Price Gap (37%)

Formula: Mean( (US_Base_Price - Floor_Storefront_USD) / US_Base_Price ) across all tracked non-PAYG subscriptions

Denominator: US pre-tax list price for the base individual monthly subscription tier
Sample Size: 37 active subscription products across 19 App Store storefront regions
FX Snapshot: August 2026 ECB / central bank reference exchange rates
Weighting: Unweighted arithmetic mean
2. Country Average Savings vs. US (e.g. Turkey 21%, Philippines 20%, Pakistan 20%)

Formula: Mean( (US_Base_Price - Country_Storefront_USD) / US_Base_Price ) for all products in country C

Sample Filter: Storefronts with minimum sample threshold of 5 verified subscription products
Denominator: US pre-tax list price for matching individual tier
Weighting: Unweighted arithmetic mean per storefront
3. Product Regional Price Spread (e.g. CapCut 86%, Gemini 48%, ChatGPT Plus 42%, Claude Pro 37%, Grok 34%)

Formula: (Highest_Storefront_USD - Floor_Storefront_USD) / Highest_Storefront_USD * 100%

Denominator: Highest observed regional list price converted to USD
Sample Size: 19 App Store storefronts per product tier
