Overview

Margin and markup are not the same

Margin is profit as a percentage of the selling price; markup is profit as a percentage of cost. A product that costs $40 and sells for $100 has a 60% margin but a 150% markup. Confusing the two leads to underpricing. This calculator shows both from your cost and price so you always price with the right number.

Price to hit a target margin

Switch to target-margin mode, enter your cost and the margin you want to keep, and the tool tells you exactly what to charge. It's ideal for retailers, freelancers and ecommerce sellers setting prices, and for quickly checking whether a discount still leaves a healthy profit. Everything runs in your browser.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between margin and markup?+

Margin is profit divided by the selling price; markup is profit divided by cost. The same profit gives a lower margin % than markup %, so always be clear which you mean.

How do I calculate profit margin?+

Subtract cost from price to get profit, then divide by the price and multiply by 100. This tool does it automatically and also shows markup.

How do I price for a target margin?+

Switch to target-margin mode and enter your cost and desired margin — the calculator returns the selling price you should set.

Is my pricing data stored?+
