How does the service markup calculator work?

There’s two use case for our calculator:

Case 1 – To add the markup percentage to the service cost, in order to calculate the service price.
Case 2 – To find the markup percentage by providing the service cost and expected service price.

The calculator uses the following formulas in order to give you the results:-

Case 1 – “Add Markup”
First you need to input the Service Cost and the Desired Markup Percentage.

Markup Value = Service Cost x (Desired Markup Percentage / 100)
Service Price = Markup Value + Service Cost

Case 2 – “Find Markup”
First you need to input the Service Cost and the Expected Service Price.

Markup Value = Expected Service Price – Service Cost
Markup Percentage = (Markup Value / Total Service Cost) x 100

Example:

Case 1 – “Add Markup”
Service Cost = $10,000
Desired Markup Percentage = 10%

Markup Value = $10,000 x (10/100) = $1,000
Service Price = $1,000 + $10,000 = $11,000

Case 2 – “Find Markup”
Service Cost = $10,000
Expected Service Price = $14,000

Markup Value = $14,000 – $10,000 = $4,000
Markup Percentage = ($4,000/$10,000) x 100 = 40%
