Assumptions used

What this answer assumes

Best for shop pricing, trade quotes, Etsy or marketplace listings, small-batch products, wholesale checks and classroom business maths where cost, markup and margin need to be shown together.

  • Markup percentage is applied to cost price, not to final selling price.
  • Gross margin is calculated from selling price after markup; it will be lower than the markup percentage unless cost is zero.
  • The calculator does not include tax, shipping, platform fees, labour overhead, discounts, refunds, currency conversion or legal pricing rules unless you include them in the cost input.
  • Rounding is applied to the displayed selling price and batch total; keep the unrounded result visible when checking a quote.

Master’s Tip

How to use the result well

Master’s Tip: do not confuse markup with margin. A 25% markup produces a 20% gross margin, so quote files should print both figures when profit expectations matter.

Method

Markup amount = cost × markup percentage ÷ 100. Selling price = cost + markup amount. Gross margin percentage = markup amount ÷ selling price × 100. Batch total = rounded selling price × quantity.

  1. For an 80 cost and 25% markup, markup amount = 80 × 25 ÷ 100 = 20. Selling price = 80 + 20 = 100. Gross margin = 20 ÷ 100 × 100 = 20%. Ten items at 100 each give a batch total of 1,000.

Assumptions

  • Markup percentage is applied to cost price, not to final selling price.
  • Gross margin is calculated from selling price after markup; it will be lower than the markup percentage unless cost is zero.
  • The calculator does not include tax, shipping, platform fees, labour overhead, discounts, refunds, currency conversion or legal pricing rules unless you include them in the cost input.
  • Rounding is applied to the displayed selling price and batch total; keep the unrounded result visible when checking a quote.
