Expert Tip

Markup and margin are not the same: Markup is percentage added to cost, margin is profit relative to selling price.

How this Calculator Works

This calculator computes markup amount, sales price, and gross margin by applying a cost-plus percentage pricing method.

Formula & Methodology

Markup Amount = Cost * (Markup / 100) Selling Price = Cost + Markup Amount Margin = (Markup Amount / Selling Price) * 100

Step-by-Step Calculation Example

Here is a step-by-step example showing how the calculations are performed:

If Cost = $80 and Markup = 35%: - Markup Amount = $80 * 0.35 = $28.00 - Selling Price = $80 + $28 = $108.00 - Margin = ($28 / $108) * 100 = 25.93%

Break-even Units = Fixed Costs / (Price per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit). It determines the sales volume required to cover total operational expenses without profit or loss.
