About markup calculator
Markup is the percentage added on top of your cost to get a selling price.
Formula
Selling price = cost × (1 + markup%). A ₹600 item with a 40% markup sells for ₹840.
Pick a markup that works
Choose it so that, after your other expenses, you still earn a profit. Compare it with prices of similar products before you settle.
A worked example
A cost of ₹250 with a 60 percent markup gives a selling price of ₹400. The profit is ₹150, which is a 37.5 percent margin on the price. Doubling the cost, a 100 percent markup, gives a 50 percent margin.
Choosing a markup
Retail often uses 30 to 100 percent depending on the product, while wholesale uses much less. Look at competitors' prices and your own running costs before deciding.
