About this tool
Margin and markup are related but not identical—and mixing them up hurts pricing. This free profit margin calculator computes margin (and related markup) from cost and selling price. Check numbers locally before you publish a price list or quote.
How to use

- Adjust price until the margin meets your goal.
Frequently asked questions
Margin is profit divided by selling price; markup is profit divided by cost. They are not interchangeable percentages.
