Presets

Every time cumulative production doubles, the cost per unit falls by a fixed percentage — the learning curve. An 80% curve means the 200th unit costs 80% of the 100th. This steady, predictable decline, first seen in aircraft manufacturing, drives the falling prices of everything from solar panels to microchips, and underpins production planning and pricing.

Governing equation

Reading this result: An 80% curve means every doubling of output trims 20% off the unit cost — so by unit 100 you are paying about $23, a 77% drop from the first unit. Lower rates bend the curve down faster.
