How this tool works
Inputs, units and where to find them
| Input | Unit | Typical source |
|---|---|---|
| Total cost / unit | $ | Total unit cost from costing or the quote build-up |
| Selling price / unit | $ | Selling price per unit, excluding GST |
Method and formulas
- Gross profit = price − cost
- Gross margin = gross profit ÷ price
- Markup = gross profit ÷ cost
Limitations
- Only as complete as the cost entered
- Margin bands (30% and 10%) are general guides, not your pricing policy
Typical uses
- Checking product or job profitability
- Explaining margin versus markup
- Reviewing price lists
Who it is for
- Sales and estimating staff
- Business owners
What you get
- Margin band (healthy, thin, very low or loss)
- Gross profit, margin and markup
Interpreting the result
- A 30% markup is only a 23% margin; state which one you mean
- Compare with your pricing policy for the product or customer
