What is the Markup Calculator?
The markup calculator adds the markup percentage you choose to your cost and gives the selling price, the profit per unit and the margin that results. It helps you see that a given markup always produces a smaller margin on the selling price.
How it works
Selling price equals cost multiplied by one plus the markup divided by 100. Profit equals selling price minus cost. Margin per cent equals profit divided by selling price times 100. A 50 per cent markup on a cost of 200 gives a price of 300 and a margin of 33.33 per cent.
How to use it
- Enter your cost per unit.
- Enter the markup percentage you want to add.
- Read the selling price, profit and margin.
Markup Calculator — FAQ
Why is my margin lower than my markup?
Markup is measured against cost and margin against the selling price. Because the price is larger than the cost, the same profit is a smaller share of it.
Can markup be above 100 per cent?
Yes. A 100 per cent markup doubles the cost, giving a margin of 50 per cent. Margin itself can never reach 100 per cent.
Does this include tax?
No. The price shown is before any GST or other tax. Add tax separately with a tax calculator.
