Pricing

Markup Calculator

Start with cost and a markup target when you need a faster pricing workflow than a spreadsheet.

This calculator helps sellers and freelancers convert a cost base into a selling price while still showing the resulting margin.

How to use this page

Start with your best current estimate, adjust the inputs until the result feels realistic, and use the related tools below when you want to pressure-test price, profit, or payout from another angle.

Markup is a useful starting point when you know your cost base and need a fast price instead of a full spreadsheet model.

After you choose a draft price, check it in the profit margin calculator or break-even calculator so the pricing logic stays grounded in actual unit economics.

FAQ

Quick answers

Short answers for the questions that usually come up first.

Is markup the same as profit margin?

What if I also need to cover fixed overhead?

Use markup as a starting point, then check the result in the break-even or profit margin calculator.
