Frequently asked questions
What does the Markup calculator actually compute?
It takes Cost and Markup (%) and derives Selling price, Profit and Net margin from them. The calculation is live as you type, so the result updates on every change.
What information do I need to provide?
2 values: Cost ($) and Markup (%). Nothing else is required — no account, no file upload.
Can you show a worked example?
With Cost = $50.00 and Markup (%) = 40, the calculator returns Selling price = $70.00, Profit = $20.00 and Net margin = 28.57%. Those figures come from running this exact tool, so you can reproduce them by entering the same values.
What happens if I enter larger values?
It moves a lot. Using Cost = $100.00 and Markup (%) = 80 instead, Selling price goes from $70.00 to $180.00 — which is why it is worth testing a few scenarios rather than trusting a single figure.
What does it give for smaller values?
Scaled down to Cost = $25.00 and Markup (%) = 20, Selling price comes out at $30.00. The relationship is worth checking at both ends before you rely on a single result.
When would I actually use this?
Before and after a campaign: turning a target into a daily budget, comparing two channels on the same basis, and deciding whether the return justifies continuing.
What is the most common mistake?
Judging ROAS without subtracting the cost of goods. A 3× return on ad spend is a loss whenever the margin is under a third — the ratio says nothing about profit on its own.
What is the difference between the Markup calculator and the Schema Markup Generator?
This one returns Selling price and Profit; the Schema Markup Generator returns Result. That is the whole difference — open the one whose figure you need.
Is there a tool for the next step?
NPS calculator is the closest one after this: Compute your Net Promoter Score from promoters, detractors and total responses.
Where do the figures come from, and how current are they?
The formulas are the industry-standard ones every ad platform uses; the inputs come from your own reporting. Platforms differ in attribution window and in what counts as a conversion, so figures rarely reconcile exactly between them.
