	Percentage markup		2006-01-10
		From Ian: 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. Answered by Harley Weston.

		From Virginia: 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 I don't understand how he arrives at .7 from 30 percent.

	Profit margin		2003-09-03
		From Chet: My salesman calculates a customers profit margin by dividing what the customer paid by what he sells for, then subtracting that answer from 1. For example a customer sells a product for $15. He bought it for $10. 15/10=.66 Subtract that from 1 and get a profit % of 33% Here's my question: If I want to figure what a reseller will sell a product for if he wants 40% margin(by the technique above), what formula do I use? Let's say I want to sell a product for 8.50, and I want the reseller to make 40% Answered by Penny Nom.
	A 40% markup		2003-06-12
		From Nick: 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). Cost + Cost*(percentmarkup/100)= retail price 11.00 + 11.00*.40 = retail price 11.00 + 4.40 = 15.40 retail price 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? Answered by Penny Nom.
