Percentage To Margin Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the margin (M) from the cost (C) and selling price (P):
M = ((P - C) / P) * 100
Variables:
- C is the cost price in currency units
- P is the selling price in currency units
- M is the margin percentage (%)
Margin represents the portion of the selling price that is gross profit. To find the missing value, fill in the other two fields and calculate using the formula above.
| Margin (%) | Price Multiplier (× Cost) |
|---|---|
| 5% | 1.053 |
| 10% | 1.111 |
| 12.5% | 1.143 |
| 15% | 1.176 |
| 20% | 1.250 |
| 25% | 1.333 |
| 30% | 1.429 |
| 33⅓% | 1.500 |
| 35% | 1.538 |
| 40% | 1.667 |
| 45% | 1.818 |
| 50% | 2.000 |
| 55% | 2.222 |
| 60% | 2.500 |
| 62.5% | 2.667 |
| 65% | 2.857 |
| 66⅔% | 3.000 |
| 70% | 3.333 |
| 75% | 4.000 |
| 80% | 5.000 |
| Selling Price = Cost ÷ (1 − Margin). Example: 40% margin → multiplier 1.667 → $100 cost → $166.70 price. | |
