Markup 2014-03-17
Lorriane pose la question :
I work for a plumbing company and our new financial manager said we should mark up all parts we buy by 142.86 to get a 30% mark up, however if we buy something for $100.00 we charge $130.00 being 30%. If we use the other method the customers will be paying $142.86 for $100.00 and they still say that this is only 30% mark up. We have for years been taught percentages at school and also the Government charges us 15% GST which on $100.00 would be $15.00 so who is correct. Thank you for your wonderful website Lorriane

Markup and discount to get a sale price 2013-03-02
Warren pose la question :

If you are an ardent shopper you will be aware of the discount (% decrease) marketing strategy to produce the sale price. I began to wonder just how much mark-up (% increase) was added initially to an item in order to deliver the discounted sale price.

It was simple to construct a formula to convert one to the other.

For example a 30% (mark down) decrease in price required a 42.86% (mark up) to increase the price initially to Tag price. However when I started apply the formulae to a number of circumstances I noticed some very interesting circumstances associated with this relationship

For example a 99.999999% decrease is numerically equal to a 9,999,999,925% increase (huge ratio difference) while conversely a 0.1% decrease is numerically equal to a 0.10010010% increase (Infinitesimally small ratio difference) so the patterns appears logarithmic not linear.

However what really caught my attention was this pattern

See http://www.ozsmart.com/doc/percentage.htm

My questions is why does the decline in the ratio of increases in required mark up (%) price peak at 50 and 51% precisely and then expand again as the percentage move higher

Any explanation would be appreciated

Markup and margin 2009-07-20
Deanna pose la question :
What is the difference between a margin percent and a point margin? For instance. A co-worker sells product. If the wholesale cost of said product is $.20, she multiplies that by 1.7 to get her selling price of $.34. To me, that is a 70% margin on the product (our company is making 70% on top of the purchased price). She considers it a 30 point margin, but to me it is 70%. Does that make sense? Any help? What is the difference between a point margin and a percentage?

I have a question about a few things if anyone can answer... ex. actual cost (AC) = $1000 selling price (SP) = $ amount earned for company (C) = 15% of... selling price? commission 1 (C1) = 2.5% commission 2 (C2) = 2.5% How would you calculate how much the company's commission amount would be as well as the amounts for the other 2 that get 2.5%? And what would the selling price be? (the 15% $ + 2.5% $ + 2.5% $ ?) Is the 2.5% taken from the original amount? I am soooo confused! If anyone could help, that would be great!

A 10% markup then a 10% discount 2007-11-13
svetik pose la question :
The best selling dessert at Chez Russell earns revenue of $5000 per week. During Restaurant Week, they are required to give a 10% discount on this dessert. Because the owner is a crook, he decides to mark up the price the week before Restaurant Week and then give the 10% discount off the marked up price. During the marked up week, they still sold the same amount of pieces as any prior week. However, they expect to sell 100 more pieces during restaurant week. If the revenue from this dessert is the same for the marked up week and restaurant week, what is the normal price of the dessert, rounded to the nearest cent?

Markup to include 6% commission 2007-09-07
Steve pose la question :
I estimate the cost to build a house for $250,000.00. I mark it up by 20%: $250,000 x 1.20 = $300,000 base price (BP) without sales commission. I want to set the sale price (SP) to include a 6% commission to pay the real estate fee. After the 6 % fee is paid I want to net the $300,000 base price. The formula is basically: $300,000 + 6% of SP = SP. But I can't figure out how to solve for SP.

this works if you only go up to 100% like $2 to $4 is 100% either way you compute it. Why does it only work up to 100%

I'm trying to increase my pricing by 30 percent. I'm doing something completely wrong. If my price is $150.00 and I increase the price by 30 percent. I would take 150 times .30 and that equals 45. I would then take 45 plus 150 and that would give me 195. My problem is now 195 is my list price. If I turn around and give my customer a 30 percent discount off the 195 the price ends up being 136.50. Which is less than the 150 that I started with.

Percentage markup 2006-01-10
Ian pose la question :

I have a markup question for you. I work for a painting company, specifically I estimate cost and sell painting projects. Within our office, we've had some discussion on how markup should be calculated for materials that we include in our prices. These are the two scenarios that we've come up with.

1. Mark up as a percentage of the cost: Cost = $ 10.00 X 15% Markup = $ 1.50. $ 1.50 + $ 10.00 equals $ 11.50 as a sale price.

2. Selling Price = Cost / (1-the desired profit margin). This would equal to $ 10.00 / (1-.15) = $ 11.76 roughly.

If you have any information on whether one is more correct and why, I would appreciate this. I want to make sure that I am marking things up correctly.

I am confused and hope you can help. I have looked high and low for a "chart" persay to go by when I am having to calculate markup percentages.

Example if I have a List price of $1838.00 and my cost is $955.76 and I want to mark it up 30%. My colleage says it should be divided by .7

Profit margin 2003-09-03

A 40% markup 2003-06-12
Nick pose la question :
I am attempting to determine the Retail price of an item that costs me 11.00. Our company wants to sell it at a markup of 40%. I calculated this two ways, first the way I thought it should be done. Second, the way the calculator does it (and my accountant).

  1. Cost + Cost*(percentmarkup/100)= retail price 11.00 + 11.00*.40 = retail price 11.00 + 4.40 = 15.40 retail price

  2. Using the calculators Mark Up key the answer is 18.33. Or 7.33 more than the cost or 67%.

I am confused by this Mark Up key and how it calculates. I used a cost of $10.00 and marked it up 50%. I thought it should equal $15.00 but the calculator says $20.00? This seems to be 100% markup, yes?

Can you explain the difference between the way I did it and the way a Business calculator does it?

25% mark up 2001-01-20
Vivian pose la question :
If it costs me $100.00 to manufacture an item and I want to sell it at a 25% mark up, why do I get different answers when I perform the operation the following ways?

1. $100.00 x 25% = $25.00
$100.00 + $25.00 - $125.00

2. $100.00 / .75 = $133.334

Should these two not be equal?
