With monopoly, consumer surplus would be the area below the demand curve and above P m R. Part of the reduction in consumer surplus is the area under the demand curve between Q c and Q m; it is contained in the deadweight loss area GRC.

As a result, the new consumer surplus is T + V, while the new producer surplus is X. If P is the price difference and Q is the difference in the quantity demanded, deadweight inefficiency is computed using the following formula:Deadweight Loss = * (New Price Original Price) * (Original Quantity New Quantity).
