Markup Calculator
Markup Calculator is a free online tool on MaticsBox. Use it directly in your browser without installing additional software.
Works in two directions: calculate a selling price from a cost and a desired markup percentage, or work out the markup percentage that was applied given a cost and a known selling price.
Enter or paste your data into the form, adjust the available options if needed, and run the tool. The result will be shown on the same page.
FAQ
Is markup the same as profit margin?
No — markup is calculated as a percentage of cost, while margin is calculated as a percentage of selling price; the two numbers differ for the same sale.
What markup is typical for retail?
It varies enormously by industry — from single-digit percentages in low-margin grocery retail to 100%+ in some specialty goods.
Can I switch between the two calculation modes?
Yes, use the mode dropdown to switch between "price from cost + markup" and "markup from cost + price".
