How to use this tool
Enter USD cost and markup percentage. If shipping or fees are not included in cost, they will not be deducted from the displayed profit; establish the intended cost scope first.
Results and examples
Price is cost × (1 + markup) and profit is the added amount. The margin row divides that profit by selling price rather than automatically calculating complete net business profit.
Worked example
USD 80 cost at 25% markup gives USD 100 price, USD 20 profit and 20% margin.
Limitations
- Sales tax, returns, discounts and overhead are not added automatically.
- Competitive prices and customer willingness to pay are not assessed.
