BEHIND THE NUMBERS

How the calculation works

With markup: selling price = cost × (1 + markup). With gross margin: selling price = cost ÷ (1 − margin). Gross profit = selling price − cost.

  • Markup is profit divided by cost; margin is profit divided by selling price.
  • Enter recoverable-tax-exclusive costs when appropriate to your business.
  • VAT is optional and is added to the calculated price.

Optional standard VAT default: 20%. Official rate source: checked 2026-10-08.
