Formula Breakdown

The markup calculator follows a simple pricing structure that helps you set profitable selling prices.

Selling Price

Selling Price = Cost + (Cost × Markup ÷ 100)

Example: $120 + ($120 × 45 ÷ 100) = $174

Profit

Profit = Selling Price - Cost

Example: $174 - $120 = $54

Margin

Margin = (Profit ÷ Selling Price) × 100

Example: ($54 ÷ $174) × 100 = 31.03%

Worked Example

If your product cost is $120 and you apply a 45% markup, the calculator shows:

Cost

$120

Selling Price

$174

Profit

$54

That means every sale adds profit on top of cost while keeping your pricing structure easy to review and compare.
