Country-Based Pricing

Income levels, cost of living, and currency strength vary significantly by country. Instead of charging everyone the same U.S. price, we apply tiered international discounts so customers can access our content at a price that better reflects local purchasing power.

We adjust pricing by country so that the cost of our products reflects local economic conditions rather than a single US-centric price. This is often called purchasing power parity (PPP) pricing.

How are the discounts determined?

Discounts are based on the World Bank's country income classification, which groups every country into one of four income levels using GNI (Gross National Income) per capita. The World Bank updates this classification every July using the latest available economic data.

Your discount is determined by the billing country you enter at checkout:

You can look up which group your country falls into on the World Bank's country and lending groups page. Because the World Bank's classification is revised annually, discount eligibility may change from year to year as a country's economic standing changes.

The discount is applied automatically as a line item in your cart and at checkout once a billing country is entered — no code or coupon needed.

How is my country determined?

We use the billing country provided at checkout to determine eligibility for country-based pricing. If you would like to see any country-based discounts applied to your cart while you shop, you must be sure that you are logged in and have saved a billing address to your account. Once you have done this, you will see any regional discounts applied to your cart total.
