Markup Calculator: Find Markup Percentage from Cost Price Online

Calculate your markup percentage and selling price from cost with this free online markup calculator.

What Is Markup?

Markup is the percentage added to the cost price to determine the selling price. It represents how much extra is charged above what the product costs. A 50% markup on a product costing 100 rupees results in a selling price of 150 rupees.

Markup is always calculated as a percentage of the cost price, not the selling price. This is the key difference between markup and margin.

Markup Formula

Markup percentage equals (selling price minus cost) divided by cost, multiplied by 100.

For a product costing 400 rupees and selling for 600 rupees: markup equals (600 minus 400) divided by 400, times 100, equals 50%.

Markup vs Margin: What Is the Difference?

Markup is the profit as a percentage of cost. Margin is the profit as a percentage of selling price. A 50% markup does not equal a 50% margin.

If you mark up by 50%, your gross margin is 33.3%. Confusing the two leads to serious pricing errors. Use the Tez Invoice margin vs markup calculator to compare both.

Why Do Businesses Use Markup?

Markup-based pricing is simple and intuitive. When you know your cost, you apply a standard markup percentage to arrive at your selling price. This ensures all products cover their costs and contribute to profit.

Many retailers and wholesalers set category-level markup policies. For example, a pharmacy might use a 20% markup on generics and a 50% markup on branded products.

Setting the Right Markup

Your markup needs to cover not just product cost but also overhead: rent, salaries, utilities, and other operating expenses. If your markup only covers the cost of goods, you will not make a profit after paying overheads.

Calculate your total cost per unit including allocated overhead before deciding on a markup percentage.
