Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate markup percentage?

Markup % = ((Selling Price - Cost) / Cost) × 100. If you buy for $50 and sell for $75: (($75 - $50) / $50) × 100 = 50% markup.

What is keystone pricing?

Keystone pricing is a 100% markup, meaning you double the cost. A $50 item sells for $100. This is common in retail as a simple pricing strategy that ensures healthy margins.

How do I find selling price from markup?

Multiply cost by (1 + markup percentage / 100). For $60 cost with 75% markup: $60 × 1.75 = $105 selling price.
