Profit Margin & Markup Calculator

Calculate profit, markup, and margin from your cost and selling price, or calculate a selling price from a target margin.

Margin vs. markup

Profit margin and markup describe the same profit from different starting points. Margin divides profit by selling price, while markup divides profit by cost.

Example

If a service costs $500 to deliver and sells for $750, profit is $250. The markup is 50%, while the profit margin is 33.33%.

For freelancers

Use this calculator as a pricing-planning aid when you have direct costs or subcontracting expenses. Your final price may also need to cover overhead, taxes, unpaid time, and other business costs.
