What Is Markup?
Markup is the amount added to the cost of a product or service to determine its selling price. It is commonly used by retailers, wholesalers, businesses, and sellers when setting prices.
Markup Formula
For example, if an item costs $100 and you apply a 25% markup:
Markup Amount = $100 × 25% = $25
Selling Price = $100 + $25 = $125
Markup vs. Profit Margin
Markup and profit margin are related but they are not the same calculation. Markup is calculated based on the cost price, while profit margin is calculated based on the selling price.
