Calculation Examples
Example: Setting a 50% Markup
Cost Price: $100 | Markup: 50%
Result: Selling Price = $150. Profit = $50.
Calculation: $100 + ($100 * 0.50) = $150. Note that a 50% markup results in a 33.3% profit margin.
Example: Wholesale Pricing
If your manufacturing cost is $20 and you want a 25% markup for bulk orders, the tool will show a selling price of $25 per unit.

How to Calculate Markup?
Markup is the difference between the cost of a product and its selling price, expressed as a percentage of the cost. It is a fundamental metric for any business to cover operating expenses and generate net profit.
The Markup Formula
To find the markup manually, use the following formula:
Markup = [(Selling Price — Cost) / Cost] * 100
Markup vs. Margin: What’s the Difference?
While often used interchangeably, they are different:
- Markup: Shows how much more you sell a product for than it cost you (based on cost).
- Margin: Shows how much of the selling price is profit (based on revenue).
Understanding this distinction is vital for accurate accounting. You can read more about it on Markup (Wikipedia).
