Markup Calculator

Estimate a selling price with the markup-divisor method from cost and percentages. Your data is processed in your browser.

How to use

  1. Enter the cost.
  2. Enter variable expenses, fixed expenses, and desired margin.
  3. Calculate divisor, index, and price.

How it works

The percentages are subtracted from 100% to form a divisor. Cost divided by it gives the suggested price.

Notes and limitations

  • The percentages must total less than 100%.
  • Demand, competition, and unlisted taxes are excluded.

Frequently asked questions

Is markup the same as margin?

No. Markup relates cost to price; margin is a share of selling price.
