About Markup Calculator

Markup Calculator finds a selling price from cost and markup percentage - classic cost-plus pricing. Retailers and freelancers search "markup calculator", "selling price from cost", and "markup percentage" when setting list prices.

Enter cost and markup %. Selling price is cost x (1 + markup/100). Markup is not the same as margin: margin is profit divided by selling price, while markup is profit divided by cost.

Price still has to clear the market. Competitors, willingness to pay, and fees (payment processing, marketplace cuts) may require a higher markup than a simple formula suggests.

Use this for arithmetic clarity; pricing strategy remains your business judgment.
