The information about buying and using land and it's related costs is getting a little more centralized now. (Much better than it was.) On the chart that shows tier fees, could you add another column to show the prim counts for the various sizes? i.e. 1/16th Region...4096m...1875 prims...US$40/month. etc. You may need to add "up to" these amounts for clarification.

I've been looking all over and can't find the list of prim counts. I think it was in the wiki somewhere.

Thanks,

This is an interesting idea. It might be confusing though if you own land in multiple sims - you can't share prim allowance across sims so the total wouldn't actualy reflect the total on any parcel you own.

There are 15,000 max prims per region, each region is 256mx256m = 65536. Or 0.22888 prims per square meter.

512sqm = 117
1024sqm = 234
2048sqm = 468
4096sqm = 937
8192sqm = 1875
16384sqm = 3750
32768sqm = 7500
65536sqm = 15000

Private Islands can skew these numbers to allow more prims per sqm but can not pass the 15,000 per region limit. Any land that you buy will tell you the prim allotment you will get, and you don't need to pre-set your tier in most cases. The land buying process in world can take care of that for you, a notable exception being donating tier to a group.
