Im currently establishing my pi for profit for the first time.
Spending about 5-6 weeks learning the mechanics, and developing a harvesting and production plan, i was wondering how i compare to other pi maniacs.

I have 3 accounts, 9 toons invested in pi. all level 4s across the board, except one with ccu5, hes the major producer.
I have 35 planets being harvested.
Im projecting an income around 5.5 billion isk from two different products being mass produced per month. one is a p4, the other a p3.

Basically around 610 million isk per toon per month that are invested in my pi project. Is that a number thats ball park for a lot of other people heavily invested in pi

thanks for the input

Sounds about right. I do 4 accounts 12 characters. About 80% are are Iv across in skills, and 2 characters are setup for just factories. I average about 4.5B - 5.5B in P4 manufactured per month (if I sold it), and somewhere between 500M - 1B additioanl P1 and P2. I don't sell my materials though and manufacture with them which pumps these numbers up to about 8B per month based on how lazy I am being.

do you do pi in high sec low or null?

Most probably these are HS WH figures, right?

Maybe you can do a bit less if its just basic HS PI.. if you buy lvl1~2 materials off the market, import tax hurts tho.

Well done - that's excellent! I'll try and improve my efforts in this. I have my three accounts - only three are PI producers - I make 50 million a week plus 75 million from a product based upon a PI route. All are lvl 5 CCU and PC.

So I make, in lo-sec, 329.16 million a month average, from three characters.

Since i scaled down the operations, using 3 toons with a combined value of 28 p2, 2 p3 factories to produce 1.2b / month

If you are looking for low tax POCOs in lowsec, try out Pakkonen (4 jumps from Jita) with two planets low tax for advanced production: Pakkonen III & VIII. Screw highsec tax when you can get 4% or even lower if you grease some palms.
