Free Markup & Margin Calculator

Turn cost into price and see your margin — or enter a price and see the markup. Both directions, instantly.

Enter cost + markup, OR cost + price. Leave price blank to solve from markup.

Markup and margin are easy to confuse, and mixing them up quietly eats your profit. Markup is the amount you add to your cost, expressed as a percentage of the cost. Margin is your profit expressed as a percentage of the selling price. A 50% markup is not a 50% margin — it’s actually a 33% margin. This free calculator keeps them straight for you.

Enter your cost and a markup percentage and it shows the selling price, the profit in dollars, and the resulting margin. Or enter your cost and the price you charge, and it works backward to show both the markup and the margin. Everything recalculates as you type, so you can quickly test different prices before you quote a customer.

The formulas: price = cost × (1 + markup ÷ 100); profit = price − cost; margin = profit ÷ price × 100. For a repair shop or product business, checking the margin — not just the markup — is what tells you whether a job is actually worth doing after parts and labor.

StandupCRM tracks cost, price and margin on every job automatically so you always know which services and products make you money. This tool is the quick version.
