READ THE RESULT
Markup sets the price. Margin tells you what the business actually keeps.
Use markup to build a starting price, then test discounts, fees and target margin before deciding whether the price is commercially sustainable.
Start with the true cost base
Include the cost you genuinely need each sale to recover before applying markup.
Convert markup into selling price
Markup is applied to cost, so the resulting margin percentage will be lower than the markup percentage.
Stress-test the real selling conditions
Discounts and marketplace or selling fees can materially reduce what remains from the headline price.
Selling Price = Cost × (1 + Markup %)
What does a markup result actually mean?
Markup describes how much is added to cost to create the selling price. Gross margin describes how much of that selling price remains above cost. They answer different pricing questions and should not be used interchangeably.
- Markup is measured against cost
- Margin is measured against selling price
- Discounts and selling fees reduce the economics after the headline price is set

PRACTICAL QUESTIONSA few things worth knowing
A few things worth knowing
before you judge the price.
What is markup?
Markup is the percentage added to cost to create a selling price. A 50% markup on a cost of 1,000 produces a selling price of 1,500.
Is markup the same as margin?
No. Markup is calculated against cost, while margin is calculated against selling price. A 50% markup produces a 33.3% gross margin.
How do discounts affect markup?
A discount reduces the actual selling price and therefore reduces both the gross profit amount and effective margin unless the cost also changes.
How do marketplace fees affect pricing?
Percentage selling fees reduce the amount retained after a sale. They should be considered alongside product cost, discounts, taxes and other channel costs.
Does this calculator include tax?
No. The core markup model is a commercial planning calculation. Tax treatment depends on jurisdiction and how prices are quoted.
Important: This calculator is for planning and educational use. Real pricing decisions can depend on taxes, shipping, returns, channel fees, overhead allocation, demand and market conditions.
