About the Markup Calculator
Markup is the percentage you add to the cost of a product to reach the selling price. Enter the cost and the selling price to see your markup. For example, a cost of ₹800 and a price of ₹1,200 is a 50% markup.
Retailers and manufacturers use markup to set prices, while margin shows the profit as a share of the price.
Markup formula
Markup (%) = (Selling price − Cost) ÷ Cost × 100
Things to keep in mind
- Markup and margin are different: a 50% markup gives a margin of only 33.3%.
- Set the markup high enough to cover overheads as well as the cost of goods.
- Check competitors' prices before settling on a markup.
