Choose the pricing question you want to solve
Amounts are currency-neutral. Use one currency consistently across every amount in the calculation.
Formula and assumptions
- Profit = cost × markup %
- Selling price = cost + profit
- Margin % = profit ÷ selling price × 100
This is deterministic planning math, not an industry benchmark or accounting recommendation.

FAQs
What is markup?
Markup is profit divided by cost, shown as a percentage.
Why is margin lower than markup?
Margin divides profit by selling price, while markup divides profit by cost, so the percentages are usually different.
Can I calculate markup from a known selling price?
Yes. Reverse-markup mode uses cost and selling price to calculate markup and margin.
Does this set the perfect price?
No. It calculates pricing math. Demand, positioning, market conditions, and your complete cost basis still matter.
