Frequently Asked Questions
How is markup calculated?
Markup is profit as a percentage of cost. Selling price = Cost × (1 + Markup ÷ 100). A $100 cost with 50% markup gives a $150 price and $50 profit.
What is the difference between markup and margin?
Markup is based on cost; margin is based on selling price. A 50% markup equals roughly a 33.3% margin. Use the Profit Margin Calculator to work from revenue and cost instead.
What markup should I use?
It depends on your industry and overhead. Retail often uses 50–100% markup; wholesale may be 15–30%. Cover all costs and leave room for profit.
How do I find my break-even price?
Use the Break-Even Calculator to see how many units you need to sell at a given price to cover fixed costs.
