Pricing & Margin Calculator
Markup and margin use different denominators. See both side by side and calculate the price needed for your target gross margin.
Your result
Gross margin does not include fixed overhead, taxes or customer acquisition.
How it works
Gross margin = (price − cost) ÷ price. Markup = (price − cost) ÷ cost. Target price = cost ÷ (1 − target margin).
Common questions
Are markup and margin the same?
No. Markup compares profit with cost; margin compares it with selling price.
Can target margin be 100%?
A 100% margin cannot be reached with a positive direct cost.
