Thanks for checking, I had a hunch my calcs were off. editing the OP now.

I re-ran my calculations by using the current price and adding the bonus after. I agree with [MENTION=329121]BenSenise[/MENTION] calculations but not sure why [MENTION=740656]jasdou[/MENTION] multiplied by 1.15 at the end

Sample calc: Say we want Asia 2. All we need is to buy 72k miles at the current 3cpp rate, then the bonus should cover 155k-ish
72k miles @ $0.03 = $2160
72k miles at a 115% bonus = 72k + 72k + 15% of 72k = 154800 miles

$2160/154800 = 0.014 approx. excl. sales tax
I multiplied by 1.15 to take into account the sales taxes and get the net cost of the purchased miles for a given award trip. Here in QC, GST is 5% and QST is 9.975% so I rounded that up to 15%.
