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.
