How it works
Enter positive cost and a markup percentage to find selling price. Switch to cost and selling price to calculate the markup already applied.
Formula and methodology
Selling price = cost × (1 + markup / 100). Profit = selling price − cost. Reverse markup (%) = profit ÷ cost × 100. Zero cost is rejected because percentage markup is undefined.
Example
Cost ₹80 with a 25% markup produces ₹100 selling price and ₹20 gross profit. The corresponding margin is 20%.
Assumptions and limits
Markup may be negative down to −100%, which gives a zero selling price. This is a pricing illustration, excluding unentered overheads and taxes.
Frequently asked questions
Can I enter a discount below cost?
Yes. A negative markup represents a selling price below cost, down to a zero selling price at −100%.
Does a 25% markup mean a 25% margin?
No. On cost ₹80 and price ₹100, markup is 25% but margin is 20%.
