Open tool Margin vs Markup Calculator
Compare gross margin on selling price with markup on unit cost.
BUILT AROUND THE TASK
Price a product profitably
Check a proposed selling price before committing to a promotion. Compare margin and markup, account for discounts, and estimate the sales volume needed to cover your stated costs.
USE WITH CONTEXT
Before you use these tools
Use a consistent basis for taxes and include the fees, shipping, returns, and other costs relevant to the sale. These calculations describe the scenario you enter; they do not predict demand.
A PRACTICAL ROUTE THROUGH THE SHELF
From raw input to reviewed output
- 1
Build the cost base
Separate per-order costs from fixed expenses. Check whether marketplace and payment fees change with the selling price.
- 2
Compare price options
Calculate margin at the normal price and at the proposed discount. Avoid confusing a markup on cost with a margin on revenue.
- 3
Test the sales target
Estimate break-even volume and compare it with realistic capacity. Revisit the calculation if fees, returns, or supplier prices change.

Questions before you start
Is a 30% markup the same as a 30% margin?
No. Markup compares profit with cost, while margin compares profit with selling price. For a cost of 100 and a selling price of 130, the markup is 30% and the margin is approximately 23.08%, before any additional costs.
