Markup calculator

Markup is profit as a percentage of the cost. It is not the same as margin — a 50% margin is a 100% markup — and this calculator makes both explicit.

Your numbers

Enter what it cost you and what you charged.

Figures are shown in your currency. Switching relabels them — it does not convert.

$

What you paid or what it cost to deliver.

What you charged the customer.

Formula

Profit = Revenue − Cost Markup % = Profit ÷ Cost × 100

How it works

Markup is profit as a percentage of the COST. Unlike margin it is unbounded — a 400% markup is perfectly ordinary. Cost of zero has no markup, so the tool says so rather than printing infinity.

Example

An item costs 600 and sells for 1,000. Profit is 400, and 400 ÷ 600 = 66.67% markup. That same sale is only a 40% margin.
