Business Calculators
Pricing math for shops, makers and freelancers: margin, markup and profit from whatever numbers you have, with every step written out.
3 calculators
- Commission CalculatorSales commission at a flat or tiered rate, the rate or sales needed for a target, and real-estate commission splits.
- Margin CalculatorGross margin, markup, profit and price from any two of cost, price, profit, margin or markup.
- Percent Off CalculatorSale price after one or several discounts — % or $ off — plus sales tax.
Small-business pricing comes down to a few relationships between cost, price and profit. These calculators work them out from whichever numbers you have and show the steps, so you can check them or explain them to a client.
Which calculator to use
- Margin, markup and price — the margin calculator finds the gross margin, markup, profit and selling price from any two of them, and lists the price for common target margins.
- Discounts and sale prices — percent off applies one or more discounts in order and adds sales tax, so you can see the price a customer pays.
- Your own rate — the hourly to salary calculator converts between an hourly rate and a yearly income when you price your time.
Margin, markup and discounts
A margin is always smaller than the matching markup: a 50% markup is a 33.33% margin, and doubling the cost is a 50% margin. Discounts come out of the margin, not the markup — 10% off a $160 item with a $120 cost leaves a $24 profit, a 16.67% margin instead of 25%. Check the margin after any planned sale before you advertise it; for other percentage questions, the percentage calculator does the division.
