Turn a cost and a target markup percentage into a selling price and the gross profit you will make. Useful for pricing products consistently across a catalogue.

Formula

  • Selling price = Cost × (1 + Markup% ÷ 100)
  • Profit = Selling price − Cost
  • Margin % = (Profit ÷ Selling price) × 100

Example

A cost of $80 with a 25% markup gives a selling price of $100 and a profit of $20 (a 20% margin).

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose a markup percentage?

It depends on your industry, overheads and desired margin. Work backwards from the margin you need, or benchmark against competitors.
