How it works
The Markup Calculator finds your selling price by adding a percentage markup to your cost. Essential for setting prices, calculating profit margins, and comparing pricing strategies.
How the calculation works
Selling price = cost × (1 + markup ÷ 100). For example, a $50 cost with 40% markup: $50 × 1.40 = $70 selling price.
Step-by-step
1. Enter the cost of the item or service. 2. Enter the markup percentage. 3. See the selling price.
Practical examples
- $10 cost with 100% markup = $20 selling price. - $75 cost with 50% markup = $112.50 selling price.
Markup is based on cost (cost × markup%). Margin is based on selling price (profit ÷ selling price × 100). A 100% markup equals a 50% margin.
It varies by industry. Retail often uses 50-100%, restaurants 200-300% on food. Research your market.
Markup = margin ÷ (1 − margin/100). For example, 30% margin = 30 ÷ 0.70 ≈ 42.9% markup.
