Practical Example

Suppose a product costs $500 to produce, and you aim for a 70% gross profit margin. Using the formula:

Input

Cost = $500
Gross Margin = 70% (0.7)

Solution

Selling Price = Cost / (1 - Gross Margin)

Selling Price = 500 / (1 - 0.7) = $1,666.67

Gross Profit = Revenue × Gross Margin

Gross Profit = 1,666.67 × 0.7 = $1,166.67

Markup = (Gross Profit / Cost) × 100

Markup = (1,166.67 / 500) × 100 = 233.33%
