Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about this calculator—how it works, accuracy, and everyday use.

Markup is the amount added on top of cost to reach your selling price. It is usually expressed as a percentage of cost. Markup, revenue, cost, and profit are closely related—change any two and the others follow.

Markup is based on cost (profit ÷ cost), while profit margin is based on revenue (profit ÷ revenue). A 25% markup is not the same as a 25% margin. Use this calculator when you think in terms of cost-plus pricing.

Yes. Enter any two known values and the calculator fills in the rest automatically. That makes it easy to quote jobs, check a bid, or see how a markup change affects revenue and profit.

There is no single correct markup—it depends on your industry, overhead, competition, and target profit. Many contractors and retailers use markups that cover labor, materials, overhead, and desired profit on each job or product.
