Applications & Usability
Setting the right price is do-or-die for retail! Our Markup Calculator helps you determine the perfect selling price to cover costs and generate profit. Simply enter your Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and desired markup percentage to get the final tag price. It's an essential tool for retailers, wholesalers, and dropshippers ensuring their pricing strategy is sustainable.
Calculation Methodology
Novice entrepreneurs often confuse these two! Markup is the % added to cost. Margin is the % of the selling price that is profit. A 50% markup results in a 33% margin—not 50%! This calculator shows both metrics side-by-side, preventing the dangerous math errors that can eat into your bottom line. Know your numbers, keep your margins healthy.
Fun Fact: Retail Rule: "Keystone pricing" is a standard retail strategy where the markup is exactly 100% (doubling the cost), resulting in a 50% gross margin.
