About this tool
Markup and margin are constantly confused, including by people who quote prices for a living. A 100% markup is not a 100% margin (it’s a 50% margin). This free Markup Calculator runs both directions: feed it cost + markup % to get sell price and margin %, or feed it cost + target margin % to get the required markup and sell price. Useful for retailers setting shelf prices, wholesalers checking distributor margins, freelancers pricing rates and consultants building proposals.
How to use it
- 1 Pick a mode (know markup OR know target margin)
- 2 Enter item cost
- 3 Enter the percentage
- 4 Read sell price, profit, markup %, margin %
What you get
- Two-way conversion (markup ↔ margin)
- Shows both metrics side-by-side
- Useful before quoting any price
