How do you calculate percent markup?
I need to know this to write a program. I looked up some sites and the way they show it doesn't give me the right results. the site went: something cost $10, the retailer sells it for $15. 15-10= 5, which is the profit. then divide 5/15= .33, so the markup percent is 33%. But it you do the math for that, 10*.33=3.3 so $13.30. which is not $15 I figure the markup would be 50%, 10*.5=5 then 10+5=$15. The book gave the example: item cost $5 but sells for $10. The markup percent is 100%. (5*1=$5; 5+5=$10) So can anyone give me a formula for figuring markup percentage?
What's the best way to calculate markup percentage on an item? How do you decide on acceptable profit margins?
Depends on the industry - are there similar products already available? If so, that will give you an idea of what to charge, in order to remain competitive. If your product has no substitutes or other sellers, then you are a monopoly. In this case, you would set your price at the point along the demand curve where marginal revenue (MR) is equal to marginal cost (MC).
How do you calculate 20% markup?

Pricing: How do you calculate Margin and Markup?
Margin is profit divided by revenue, and markup is profit divided by cost.The underlying thinking for using margin is that you start with value-based thinking and set the price accordingly: what is the value my product or service creates for the customer? When you use markup, you start with cost-based thinking: what markup can I charge to the customer on top of my cost to buy or produce?As an example, let’s take a revenue for your product or service of $100, a cost of $80, and a profit of $20. In both the margin and the markup calculation, the profit of $20 is the numerator in the equation. However, what you take as the denominator is different! When you calculate margin, you divide profit by revenue. When you calculate markup, you divide profit by cost. So for margin, we take $20 profit divided by $100 in revenue which equals 20%. For markup, we take $20 profit divided by $80 cost, which is a 25% markup.For a more complete discussion of margin versus markup, please view my 3-minute YouTube video on the topic of margin versus markup.

I suspect you may be talking about something slightly different, as there would rarely be a requirement for a negative markup. You may be talking about a negative margin, which is a different thing, and may occur of your buy price is unexpectedly high.Markups are generally applied on top of a buy price, so you would need to know what that was before starting, making it unlikely that you would lose money (hopefully!)For clarification:http://www.accountingtools.com/q...
I need someone to explain mark-up percentage to me if you would please?
I am studying accounting in college. I have read a section on mark-up percentage and I don't understand where they are getting thier numbers from. They say calculate markup like: Markup percentage = markup over Sales price. As example they give: a cd reltailers is: Markup percentage= $7.00 over $15.00 = 46.7%. But where are they getting that number? When you put a number over another number doesn't that mean divided by? If thats the case then it doesn't work out. I don't get it, can someone please explain in laymans terms? It would be appreciated. Thanks.
