Markup Calculator

Markup Calculator is part of Toolspire and is ready as soon as this page loads. A ₹100 cost with a 25% markup sells for ₹125. The margin on that price is 20%, because the ₹25 gain is a fifth of ₹125, not a quarter of it.

What you can do here

Price is the headline

The detail holds the margin, so the two percents are not confused.

25 becomes 20

That pair is the check: markup on cost, margin on price.

No discount stacked

A later 10% off the ₹125 is the discount page, not a second box here.

The sequence

How to use the Markup Calculator

  1. 1

    Start from cost

    If you already know the selling price, you want margin, not markup.

  2. 2

    Type the percent on cost

    25 means you add a quarter of the cost, not a quarter of the final price.

  3. 3

    Read the margin before you quote “20%” and “25%” as the same deal

    They describe one transaction from two ends.

Worth knowing

  • Markup Calculator on Toolspire: selling price = cost × (1 + markup ÷ 100).
  • ₹100 × 1.25 = ₹125.
  • Margin on price = markup ÷ (100 + markup) × 100. A 25% markup is a 20% margin.
  • The profit-margin page starts from price. This page starts from cost. They are not the same percent.

The same ₹25 is two percents

Add 25% of a ₹100 cost and the price is ₹125. The ₹25 you added is 25% of cost and 20% of price. People lose money by treating those words as synonyms. This page always adds the percent to cost, then reports what percent of the resulting price that addition represents. It does not go backwards from a price.
