List Price Markdown Calculator
About this Calculator
Revenue = Price (selling price)
Calculate the list price you need to set in order to allow for a customer discount and still maintain your desired revenue, gross profit, gross margin or mark up on a product or service. Use this calculator to calculate the list price (tag price) of an item when you want to allow for a markdown and still attain your desired revenue (selling price actually recieved), gross profit, gross margin and mark up.
For example, suppose your company wants to maintain a gross margin of 75% on an item that costs $10 to make or buy. And, you want to allow room in the price to give customers a 20% discount off the listed price. The discount you allow is the price markdown. Enter Gross Margin of 75%, Cost of $10 and Markdown of 20% into the calculator to find that you need to tag the item with a list price of $50 to acheive these targets.
Checking the result ......
- Markdown = 50 x 20% = 10
- Revenue = List Price - Markdown = 50 - 10 = 40
- Gross Profit = Revenue - Cost = 40 - 10 = 30
- Gross Margin = Gross Profit / Revenue = 30 / 40 = 75%
To work without the markdown you can use our straight sales calculator.
Sales Variables
- Cost (C)($)
- Revenue (R)($) or selling price
- Gross Profit (P)($)
- Gross Margin (G)(%)
- Mark Up (M)(%)
Sales Equations
- P = R - C
- M = P / C
- G = P / R
If you know at least 2 values, and 1 value is a dollar value, you can calculate the other 3 after some algebraic manipulation of the three equations. This calculator will calculate any three of the sales values based on any 2 inputs that you provide.
