How this calculator works

Margin and markup produce different selling prices. Choose the method your business uses, then enter the target percentage.

Using margin: Price = Cost ÷ (1 − Margin). Using markup: Price = Cost × (1 + Markup).

A Rs. 1,000 cost with a 30% target margin requires a selling price of about Rs. 1,428.57.
