Margin calculator

It also shows the most you can pay per 1,000 and still hit the target margin. The margin uses the selling price.

Most you can pay per 1,000 Unit ceiling
Unit cost Left on each Actual margin

Why this exists

A cost of 1,000 and a price of 2,000 is a 50 percent margin and a 100 percent markup. Agree which one a supplier means.

  1. 01How to use it

    Enter the rate, the selling price, and the target margin. The foreign amount you can still pay per 1,000 appears first.

    Add the real per-1,000 price and the unit cost, the money left on each sale, and the actual margin fill in.

  2. 02What you get

    Rate 1,380, price 15,000, target 80 percent, and a real lot of 1,200 give a ceiling of 2,173.91 per 1,000.

    The unit cost is 1,656 and 13,344 is left on each sale. The actual margin is 89.0 percent, above the target.

    Entered1,380 · 15,000 · 80% · 1,200

    1,000 2,173.91
    89.0% 1,656 · 13,344

  3. 03Worth knowing

    From a 20,000 price, take off a 10 percent fee and 3,000 shipping, then type the remaining 15,000 as the selling price.

    A card rate can differ from the posted rate, so leave a little room in the exchange rate.
