About the Markup Calculator

The markup formula

Selling Price = Cost × (1 + Markup / 100). If a product costs $50 and you mark it up 60%, the selling price is $50 × 1.60 = $80, and your profit is $30.

Markup vs margin — the one table every founder needs

Every markup value has a smaller equivalent margin because the denominator changes. A 25% markup is a 20% margin; a 100% markup is a 50% margin; a 300% markup is a 75% margin. This tool shows the equivalent side by side so you always price against the right number.

When to think in markup vs margin

Retail buyers, wholesale distributors and manufacturing quote in markup because they start from cost. Finance teams, investors and P&L reporting always use margin because they start from revenue. Speak the language of whoever you're pricing to.
