Markup Calculator
Turn a cost and a markup into a sell price, and see the margin it actually produces.
- Sell price
- $150
- Gross profit
- $50
- MarginNot the same as the markup you entered.
- 33.3%
What this assumes
- Markup is applied to cost; margin is measured against the sell price.
Why this number matters
Markup and margin are not the same number and confusing them is expensive. A 50% markup on a $100 part sells at $150 and earns a 33% margin, not 50%. Businesses that quote on markup and budget on margin quietly miss their targets every month.
How it is worked out
- Sell price = cost × (1 + markup %)
- Gross profit = sell price − cost
- Margin = gross profit ÷ sell price
The same formulas run in your browser as you type; nothing you enter is sent anywhere.
