Formula: Width (cm) x Height (cm) x Rate (per sq cm) = Total Cost
FPJ follows a simple pricing formula based on the square centimeter. Calculate the area in square cm by multiplying the ad height (in cm) times the ad width (in cm). Use the edition rate times the area.
Total Cost = Width (cm) × Height (cm) × Rate (per sq cm)
Example — Mumbai Edition:
Size: 10 cm × 8 cm = 80 sq cm
Rate: INR 84 per sq cm
Total: INR 6,720 (excluding GST)
