Cost Price

This calculator is based on cost price and markup percentage only. Taxes, shipping, discounts, fees and overhead costs are not included unless added separately.

What Does a Markup Calculator Do?

A markup calculator helps determine selling price by adding a chosen percentage to the cost price. This is commonly used in retail, wholesale, ecommerce and service pricing when businesses want a simple cost-plus pricing method.

It is useful because once the markup percentage is decided, the calculator quickly shows the selling price without manual math.

What Is Markup?

Markup is the percentage added to cost price to set a selling price. For example, if the cost price is PKR 1,000 and the markup is 20%, then the markup amount is PKR 200 and the selling price becomes PKR 1,200.

Markup vs Margin

Markup and margin are related, but they are not the same. Markup is based on cost price. Margin is based on selling price.

This matters because the same numbers can produce different percentages depending on whether the calculation is cost-based or selling-price-based.

How This Markup Calculator Works

  1. Enter the cost price of the product or service.
  2. Enter the markup percentage you want to apply.
  3. Click Calculate Selling Price.
  4. Review the selling price and markup amount.

This is especially helpful when setting consistent prices across multiple products or reviewing price changes after cost increases.

Example of Markup Calculation

Suppose the cost price is PKR 2,500 and the markup percentage is 30%.

Markup Amount = 2,500 × 30 ÷ 100 = PKR 750
Selling Price = 2,500 + 750 = PKR 3,250

This means the item would be priced at PKR 3,250 using a 30% markup on cost.

When a Markup Calculator Is Useful

Method, Accuracy and Limitations

This calculator gives a direct mathematical result from the entered cost price and markup percentage. It is useful for basic price-setting, but real final prices may also depend on tax, shipping, marketplace fees, discounts, overhead costs and business policy.

That means the result is best used as a pricing reference rather than a full business-profit calculation.
