Question

Adding Formulas To An Invoice

I run a photography company, and have just transitioned to Quickbooks Online. When I invoice, I charge clients on a per image basis. However, when clients get larger orders with more photos, there is a bit of a discount on the per image price. So for instance, at 12 images, it's $120 so $10 per image, but at 48 it's $385 so about $8 per image. I set all these prices by graphing out a point slope formula so everything is consistent as the orders go up.

 

My question being, is there a way to put this formula into an invoice template so that whatever number of images I deliver to a client, I can input that number and will get the exact price on that line, or will I need to calculate it myself every time or have an entry in the services tab for numbers 12-48?
