* Upon installing a [[Psychic reader]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} on a pawn, the pawn's TPI increased by 10% of its current value, multiplied by the pawn's [[Psychic Sensitivity]]. That is, a pawn with Psychic Sensitivity of 100%, Social 20 and a resulting 30% TPI would have a TPI of 33% after installing the Reader, while this would be increased to 36% if they had 200% Psychic Sensitivity.

The formula for calculating the buy price modifier(i.e the percentage of the item's value you will pay) is {{math|1= ''buy price modifier = 60%*(100%+TPI)''}}.The equivalent formula for the sell price modifier is {{math|1= ''buy price modifier = 140%*(100%-TPI)''}}.

==Trade Price Improvement Milestones==
 +
The list below shows the milestones of T.P.I.:
 +
*The minimum T.P.I. a pawn can have is 0%
 +
*Without [[DLC]]s the maximum T.P.I. a pawn can have is 32% with a [[Skills#Social|Social]][[Skill::Social| ]] skill of 20 and trading with another [[faction]]’s settlement.
 +
*A T.P.I. of 40% is the maximum value you should aim for selling stuff since the game prevents the selling price from being higher than the purchase price, so a higher T.P.I. than 40% mean selling for less. (This is the point where the selling price is equal to the buying price, 84% of the market value)
 +
*A T.P.I. of 46.23% is the highest value you can reach in the game with [[DLC]]s. To achieve this value you need a pawn with [[Skills#Social|Social]] skill of 20, the [[Ideology_(DLC)#Social_roles|leader role]], the [[Traits#Psychic_Sensitivity| Psychically Hypersensitive]] trait, the implants [[Psychic sensitizer]] and [[Psychic reader]], a Legendary [[Eltex staff]], [[Eltex skullcap]], [[Eltex robe]], [[Eltex vest]] and [[Eltex shirt]] and go on a [[caravan]] to trade with a settlement.
 +
*A T.P.I. higher than 100% is useless since the minimum buying price is $0.50.
  
== How to calculate TPI ==
+
==Maximizing Trade Price Improvement==
The TPI is calculated as follow:
 
*Base value: 100%
 
*[[Skills#Social|Social]][[Skill::Social| ]]: *(Skill level*1.5)%
 
*[[Talking]]: if inferior at 95%: *(Talking ability with 90% weight)% | else: *100%
 
*[[Hearing]]: if inferor at 80%: *(Hearing ability with 90% weight)% | else: *100%
 
*If has a [[psychic reader]]: *(10%*[[psychic sensitivity]])
 
*If has [[Mental_inspiration#Inspired_trade|Inspired trade]]: +18%
 
*If is colony [[Ideoligion#Leaders|leader]]: +2%
 
*If trade with settlement: +2%
 
*If relevant precept: +10% (selling only)
 
 
 
To use this calculation, convert the % value of the game by multiplying it by 0.01.
 
 
 
The calculation for TPI is : [SL]*1.5*(1*(0.1+0.9*([T]/0.95))*(1*(0.1+0.9*[H]/0.8)*(1+(0.1*[PS]))+[IT]+[L]+[TS]+[P]
 
 
 
Multiply by 100 if the value is wanted in %.

(This is the point where the selling price is equal to the buying price, 84% of the market value.)
 
*Without [[DLC]]s the maximum TPI a pawn can have is 50% by having a [[Skills#Social|Social]][[Skill::Social| ]] skill of 20 (+30%), a [[Mental_inspiration#Inspired_trade|Inspired trade]] (+18%) and trading with another [[faction]]’s settlement (+2%).
 
*A TPI of 64.23% is the highest value you can reach in the game with [[DLC]]s. To achieve this value you need a pawn with [[Skills#Social|Social]] skill of 20 (+30%), a [[Mental_inspiration#Inspired_trade|Inspired trade]] (+18%), the [[Ideology_(DLC)#Social_roles|leader role]] (+2%), the implants [[Psychic reader]] (+3%) and [[Psychic sensitizer]] (+0.75%), the [[Psychically hypersensitive]] (+2.4%) trait, a Legendary [[Eltex staff]] (+2.25%), [[Eltex skullcap]] (+1.8%), [[Eltex robe]] (+0.9%), [[Eltex vest]] (+0.69%) and [[Eltex shirt]] (+0.45%) and go on a [[caravan]] to trade with a settlement (+2%).

The Trade Price Improvement can only be maximize by installing [[Psychic reader]] on your pawn and improving it's [[Psychic Sensitivity]] since you are stuck at 30% with only the [[Skills#Social|Social]] skill.

An easy way to get to 40% TPI is to use a pawn with a [[Skills#Burning|burning passion]] for [[Skills#Social|Social]] and the [[Psychically hypersensitive]] trait. Then you need to assign this pawn as your [[Ideology_(DLC)#Social_roles|leader]] and buy/find a [[Psychic sensitizer]], a [[Psychic reader]], a good [[Eltex staff]] and an excellent [[Eltex shirt]] to get exactly 40% TPI at a [[Skills#Social|Social]] skill of 20.

Getting a TPI of 40% with a [[Skills#Social|Social]] skill lower than 20 is really difficult, as example a pawn with a [[Skills#Social|Social]] skill of 18 need the [[Ideology_(DLC)#Social_roles|leader role]], the [[Psychically hypersensitive]] trait, the implants [[Psychic sensitizer]] and [[Psychic reader]], a Legendary [[Eltex staff]], [[Eltex skullcap]], [[Eltex robe]], [[Eltex vest]] and [[Eltex shirt]] to get exactly 40% TPI.
 
  
With the [[Ideoligion#Drug use|Drug Use: Essential]] precept or [[Ideoligion#Meme-specific|Ranching: Central]] precept, you can technically sell items at a TPI higher than 40% since there +10% TPI are not counted toward the "selling price not being higher than the buying price" cap. Even if a TPI of 50% is unreachable because maths, a TPI of 47% is achievable and shoud be aim for as it is the new equilibrium between the buying and selling prices. This 47% TPI is achievable by geting a colonist to a TPI of 37%, by using informations of this page, and trading items affected by the precept of your Ideoligy.

If you manage to get a TPI higher than 40% you can literally get everything [[Trade|traders]] have for free. As an example, all [[Trade|traders]] buy [[Insect jelly]], so you can sell it for $6.72 a piece at 40% TPI then buy it back at $6.50 a piece with a TPI of 42%.

The price of items shows went trading in rounded to the nearest integer or the second decimal if the price in lower than $10, but the exact value is use for the total price calculation. For example buying [[Insect jelly]] with a [[Skills#Social|Social]] skill of 0 will show a price of $11 even if the game use the exact price (8*1.4=$11.20) so buying 3 [[Insect jelly]] will cost $34 instead of $33 as the total price of a trade is always rounded to the nearest integer.
