I get that it is based off NPC/poco owners settings, but what i am having trouble understanding is what the percentage is based off of?

Playing around on a poco in nullsec that is set to 5%, i see that exporting 2290 of the product would cost me 824,400 isk. But **what** is that based on, because calculating the price of the product in question in both jita and the region i was in didn’t add up; even on the lowest possible value of that product it would surely have been over a million isk in taxes.

So the price is not and cannot be based on the market value of the product that is being imported / exported, so what numbers does this game use to determine how much isk you will spend to import/export any given product?

Thanks for any help on this subject o7
