Frequently Asked Questions About Margin & Markup Calculator
What is the difference between margin and markup?
Markup is profit as a percentage of cost, while margin is profit as a percentage of the selling price. A 50% markup on a $10 cost gives a $15 price, which is a 33.3% margin. This tool shows both so you do not mix them up.
How do I calculate profit margin?
Profit margin = (price − cost) ÷ price × 100. For example, a $15 item that costs $10 has a $5 profit and a 33.3% margin. Enter cost and price and the calculator does it for you.
How do I price for a target margin?
Price = cost ÷ (1 − margin%). For a 40% margin on a $12 cost, price = 12 ÷ 0.60 = $20. Use the target-margin mode to get the price automatically.
