Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate markup percentage?
Markup % = ((Selling Price - Cost) ÷ Cost) × 100. If cost is $40 and selling price is $60: ($60 - $40) ÷ $40 × 100 = 50% markup. The calculator computes markup from cost and price or vice versa.
What is the difference between markup and margin?
Markup is based on cost: (Price - Cost) / Cost. Margin is based on price: (Price - Cost) / Price. A $40 cost sold at $60: markup = 50%, margin = 33.3%. Same profit, different percentages. The calculator shows both.
How do I convert markup to margin?
Margin = Markup ÷ (1 + Markup). 50% markup = 0.50 ÷ 1.50 = 33.3% margin. 100% markup = 50% margin. 200% markup = 66.7% margin. The calculator converts between markup and margin instantly.
What is a typical markup for retail products?
Grocery: 5-25%. Clothing: 50-100%. Electronics: 10-30%. Jewelry: 50-300%. Restaurants: 200-400% on food. Furniture: 50-80%. Markup varies by industry, competition, and perceived value.
How do I calculate selling price from cost and desired markup?
Selling Price = Cost × (1 + Markup%/100). Cost $25 with 60% markup: $25 × 1.60 = $40. For keystone pricing (100% markup): simply double the cost. The calculator handles any markup percentage.
