Worth Knowing

Markup and margin are easy to confuse but describe different things: markup is profit as a percentage of cost, while margin is profit as a percentage of the selling price. A 50% markup is only a 33% margin, because the two use different denominators. This tool computes selling price from cost and markup, but the distinction is where retailers lose money — pricing to a target margin while thinking in markup terms quietly erodes profit on every sale.

How to Use

  1. Enter Cost into the first field of the Markup Calculator.

  3. Your result appears instantly as you type — there's no submit button or page reload.
