Pricing calculator

Work out a price from your cost, target margin and payment fees, and see the markup, profit per sale and break-even volume.

The formula

Price = (unit cost + fixed fee) ÷ (1 − margin − percentage fee). Margin is profit as a share of the price, which isn't the same as markup on cost: a 50% margin is a 100% markup.

Sanity checks

  • Compare the result with what customers already pay for alternatives.
  • For services, include your time at your minimum hourly rate in the cost.
  • Payment processors publish their fees; use your provider's current rate.
