About this calculator

Margin is profit as a share of the selling price; markup is profit as a share of cost. They describe the same profit from two sides, and mixing them up is a common pricing mistake.

Amounts are shown without a currency symbol, so the calculator works for any currency: enter all values in the same one.

Frequently asked questions

A product that costs 60 and sells for 100 has a 40% margin but a 66.67% markup. Margin can never reach 100% unless the cost is zero; markup has no upper limit.
