- Set how many units these costs produce (1 for a single item or service).
- Type the sale price per unit to see profit, margin on price and markup on cost.
- Read the suggestions: biggest share, prices for 20%, 30% and 50% margin, and copy the summary.
Cost and price questions
How are margin and markup different? Example?
Margin divides profit by the sale price; markup divides profit by the cost. Example: costs 20 + 5 + 10 = 35, price 60 gives profit 25, margin 25 / 60 = 41.7%, markup 25 / 35 = 71.4%. Margin shows what stays from the price, markup shows return over cost.
What price gives me a 30% margin?
Divide the unit cost by (1 - 0.30). With unit cost 35, the price is 35 / 0.70 = 50. The tool shows the prices for 20%, 30% and 50% automatically.
Is this accounting or tax advice?
No - a simulation with the numbers you type. Taxes, card fees and fixed monthly costs change the real result; add them as lines when they apply per sale. Everything runs in your browser.
