How this tool works
The calculator adds your unit cost and your target profit per unit to get the minimum selling price. It then computes margin by dividing profit by price and multiplying by 100.
Worked examples
Example 1
Question: Cost £8, target profit £5.
- Price = 8 + 5 = £13
- Margin = 5 ÷ 13 × 100 ≈ 38.46%
Example 2
Question: Cost £22, target profit £8.
- Price = £30
- Margin = 8 ÷ 30 × 100 ≈ 26.67%
