Margin & markup from a price

You know what it costs and what you sell it for — this converts the gap into both languages.

Gross profit per unit
Margin (profit ÷ selling price)
Markup (profit ÷ cost)

Price a product

Start from cost and the margin (or markup) the business needs — this gives the selling price.

Wholesale to retail

What your wholesale price implies at retail. Keystone is 2x; service-heavy categories like bridal often price at 2.2x–2.6x.

Suggested retail price (RRP)
Retailer's margin at that RRP
Retailer's profit per unit

The formulas

Margin % = (price − cost) ÷ price × 100
Markup % = (price − cost) ÷ cost × 100
Price from margin = cost ÷ (1 − margin ÷ 100)
Price from markup = cost × (1 + markup ÷ 100)
Margin from markup = markup ÷ (100 + markup) × 100

The distinction matters because retail buyers speak margin while manufacturers tend to think markup — a buyer asking for "a 60" wants a 60% margin, which is a 150% markup. The full reasoning, with keystone pricing and the structural parts fashion adds, is in our wholesale pricing guide.
