How it’s solved
Worked on the example above, step by step — follow along and you can do it on paper next time, no tool required.
- Marking up adds a percent of the cost on top of the cost.
- Price = cost × (1 + markup ÷ 100)
$60.00 × 1.4 = $84.00 - Profit per unit = price − cost
$84.00 − $60.00 = $24.00

Frequently asked
How is the price calculated?
Price = cost × (1 + markup ÷ 100). A 40% markup on a $60 cost gives an $84 price.
Is markup the same as margin?
No — a 40% markup on cost is not a 40% margin on price. Use the Margin & Markup tool to compare them.
