Margin & Markup Calculator
This tool helps you calculate profit margin, markup, selling price, discounts and break-even price. It clearly distinguishes between margin and markup — two concepts that are often confused but produce very different numbers.
Margin vs Markup
Margin and markup are different. A 20% margin corresponds to a 25% markup. Always check which metric you are using, especially when setting prices or negotiating with suppliers.
Break-even Price
The break-even price is the minimum selling price to avoid loss. With unit cost $80 and 10% platform commission: Break-even = 80 ÷ (1 − 0.10) = $88.89.
How Platform Commissions Affect Profit
If a platform charges 10% commission on selling price, a $100 sale yields only $90 revenue. Your real profit is $10 (not $20), and real margin is 10% (not 20%). Always account for commission as a price-based fee.
