Markup Calculator

Calculate markup from cost and selling price.

About this tool

What this tool does

Markup measures profit against cost. Enter cost and selling price to see the amount earned and the percentage added above cost.

How to read the result

Markup = (selling price - cost) / cost × 100%. A 50% markup on a cost of 100 gives a selling price of 150, but the margin is 33.33%.

Practical guidance

Include purchase, shipping, payment and marketplace costs when they belong to the item. Markup is a pricing indicator, not a complete profit-and-loss statement.

Markup with fees and additional costs

Markup compares profit with the product cost plus fixed additional costs. A percentage sales fee is calculated from the selling price and deducted separately, so the target-price mode can find a price that still delivers the requested markup.

How to use

  1. Enter the requested amounts.
  2. Choose the calculation direction or rate.
  3. Calculate and review every displayed value.
  4. Copy the result or adjust the inputs for another scenario.

FAQ

Is Markup Calculator free?

Should I verify the result?
Yes. Use the result as a practical helper and verify important decisions in the target system or with a qualified specialist when needed.
Can I enter sensitive data?
Avoid entering confidential, regulated or production-critical data into online tools unless you have verified the processing path.
How do I calculate markup?
Subtract cost from selling price, divide the profit by cost and multiply by 100.
Is markup the same as margin?
No. Markup is based on cost. Margin is based on selling price, so the percentages are different.
Does the target markup include a percentage sales fee?
Yes. The target-price calculation increases the required net selling price so the requested markup remains after the percentage fee is deducted.
