About the Markup Calculator
Markup and margin describe the same profit from different bases. Markup divides profit by the cost price; margin divides it by the selling price, so the margin is always the smaller of the two for a profitable sale. For example, a cost of 80 and a selling price of 100 give a profit of 20, a markup of 25% and a margin of 20%. To set a price from a target markup instead, multiply the cost by 1 + markup/100: a cost of 200 at a 30% markup sells for 260.

Frequently Asked Questions
Subtract the cost from the selling price to get profit, then divide profit by the cost and multiply by 100. A cost of 80 and price of 100 give a 25% markup.
