How to use the Markup Calculator
- Enter your cost.
- Enter the markup %.
- Read price, profit and margin.
How it works
Selling price = Cost × (1 + Markup%/100); Profit = Price − Cost; Margin = Profit ÷ Price.
Worked example
Cost 600 with 50% markup: price 900, profit 300, margin 33.3%.
Good to know
Markup is based on cost; margin is based on price, so a 50% markup is only a 33.3% margin.
Use it to price products consistently.
Cover overheads and tax in your markup, not just the product cost.
