Frequently asked questions
What is Price & margin simulator?
Get margin, margin % and markup % from cost and selling price.
When would I actually use this?
Setting a price that survives contact with reality: covering costs, hitting a target margin, and checking what the marketplace and payment fees leave behind.
What is the most common mistake?
Confusing margin with markup. A 50% markup is a 33% margin, and pricing as if they were the same undercharges by a third on every unit sold.
How is Price & margin simulator different from Price from cost and target margin?
They sit next to each other but answer different questions: Price from cost and target margin is the one to open when you need it to set the selling price that hits a target profit margin for a given unit cost. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.
Is there a tool for the next step?
Wholesale price calculator is the closest one after this: Set a wholesale price and a suggested retail price from your unit cost. Choose a markup multiplier or a target margin for wholesale, then a keystone multiplier or a retailer margin for the shelf price. It returns both prices with their margins, and the total for an order.
What else is worth having open alongside it?
Cash flow margin calculator and Contribution margin calculator — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.
Where do the figures come from?
Margin arithmetic is universal; the fee schedules are not. Marketplace and payment rates are read from published tariffs, which each provider revises on its own calendar — re-check them before pricing a new line.
