Understanding Markup

Markup is the amount added to the cost price of goods to cover overhead and profit. It is expressed as a percentage of the cost price. Understanding markup is essential for setting prices that ensure profitability while remaining competitive in the market.

Markup Formula

Selling Price = Cost × (1 + Markup% / 100)

For example, if a product costs $100 and you want a 50% markup, the selling price would be $150. Your profit is $50.

Markup vs. Margin

  • Markup is calculated as a percentage of the cost price.
  • Margin is calculated as a percentage of the selling price.
  • A 50% markup equals a 33.3% margin.
  • Markup can exceed 100%, but margin can never exceed 100%.
