How to calculate margin, markup and discount

  1. In the pricing box, choose whether you know the sale price, the markup % or the margin %.
  2. Type your cost price and the one figure you know.
  3. See the sale price, profit, profit margin % and markup % update instantly.
  4. Use the discount box to find a final price and the amount saved from any original price.

Margin vs markup — what's the difference?

Markup is your profit measured against the cost price, while margin is your profit measured against the sale price. Buy for ₹100 and sell for ₹150 and the markup is 50%, but the margin is about 33%. Mixing them up is one of the most common pricing mistakes — this tool shows both at once so you always price with confidence.

Common uses

Frequently asked questions

How do I set a price for a 30% margin?

Choose "I know the margin %", enter your cost and type 30. The calculator divides the cost by 0.70 to give the selling price that leaves a 30% margin.

How is the discount worked out?

The saving is the original price times the discount percentage, and the final price is what's left after subtracting it — for example 20% off ₹1500 saves ₹300, leaving ₹1200.
