How it works

Use this tool with clear assumptions

Markup is based on cost, while margin is based on revenue. That difference matters when you are setting prices.

Use this tool when pricing products, services, wholesale offers, or custom project quotes.

Formula / logic

Selling price = cost * (1 + markup rate). Margin = profit / selling price * 100.

Example

A $50 cost with a 50% markup creates a $75 selling price and a 33.33% margin.
