Markup Calculator





Formulas

The formulas used in the calculations are:

\[ \text{profit} = \text{revenue} - \text{cost} \]

\[ \text{markup} = 100 \times \frac{\text{profit}}{\text{cost}} \]

If you need the selling price, then use:

\[ \text{revenue} = \text{cost} + \text{cost} \times \frac{\text{markup}}{100} \]

Description

This calculator computes the markup percentage based on the input values of cost and revenue. It also shows how to calculate profit and selling price using the given formulas.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following:

Calculate the profit:

\[ \text{profit} = 50 - 40 = 10 \]

Calculate the markup percentage:

\[ \text{markup} = 100 \times \frac{10}{40} = 25\% \]

Therefore, the markup percentage is 25%.

FAQs

How do I calculate markup?

To calculate markup by hand:

  1. Determine your COGS (cost of goods sold). For example, $40.
  2. Find your gross profit by subtracting the cost from the revenue. Our product sells for $50, so the profit is $10.
  3. Divide profit by COGS. $10 / $40 = 0.25.
  4. Express it as a percentage: 0.25 × 100 = 25%.

This is how to find markup... or simply use this markup calculator!

What is the markup formula?

The markup formula is as follows:

\[ \text{markup} = 100 \times \frac{\text{profit}}{\text{cost}} \]

If you don't know the profit but only know how much you paid for an item (cost) and sold it for (revenue), substitute profit with the formula:

\[ \text{profit} = \text{revenue} - \text{cost} \]

The markup formula then becomes:

\[ \text{markup} = 100 \times \frac{\text{revenue} - \text{cost}}{\text{cost}} \]

If you need the selling price, then use:

\[ \text{revenue} = \text{cost} + \text{cost} \times \frac{\text{markup}}{100} \]
