Formula
Markup amount = cost × markup rate ÷ 100. Selling price = cost + markup amount = cost × (1 + markup rate ÷ 100).
Worked example
A cost of 100 with a 30% markup adds 30, giving a selling price of 130. The resulting gross margin is 30 ÷ 130 ≈ 23.08%, not 30%.
What the result means
Markup is a percentage of cost. It does not include other expenses, and it is not the same as gross margin, which uses selling price as its base.
