Price-from-Margin Calculator

Enter your cost and the margin or markup you want, and get the price to charge. The reverse of a margin calculator.

How it works

Working forwards from a cost to a price. A margin can never reach 100% (that would need an infinite price), so a target margin is bounded; a markup isn't. If you think in "I want to double my money", that's a 100% markup (= 50% margin).

Frequently asked

Why can’t I set a 100% margin?: Margin is profit as a share of price, so 100% margin would mean the cost is zero. Use markup if you want to express “price is N% above cost” without that ceiling.
