Consumer surplus is the economic measure of the benefit that consumers receive when they are able to purchase a good or service for a price less than they would have been willing to pay. It is calculated as the difference between the total amount consumers are willing to pay for a good or service and the total amount they actually pay. For example, if you are willing to pay 10 for a coffee but only have to pay 4, your consumer surplus for that coffee is $6.
