Markup calculator
Add a markup to your cost and see the selling price and actual margin it creates.
- Markup amount
- 200.00
- Resulting margin
- 28.57%
- Selling price
- 700.00
What this calculator works out
Useful for anyone pricing materials, products or subcontracted work from a known cost base.
Calculation: Selling price = cost × (1 + markup rate). Margin = profit ÷ selling price.
Practical example
A 40% markup on a 500 cost adds 200 and creates a 700 selling price. The resulting margin is 28.57%, not 40%.
Use the result carefully
- Include labour and overhead where they are part of delivering the item.
- Markup and margin use different denominators.
- The selling price shown is before any tax.
