Wholesale Price Calculator

Enter your cost and the retail price you expect the retailer to charge to see a wholesale price that protects both your margin and theirs.

Wholesale price

$20.00

Your profit per unit

$8.00

Your margin

40%

Markup on cost

66.67%

Retailer’s profit per unit

$20.00

How this was worked out

  1. Step 1Wholesale = retail × (1 − retailer margin) = 40 × (1 − 0.5) = $20.00
  2. Step 2Your profit = 20 − 12 = $8.00

If your margin is negative, the retail price is too low for your cost at that retailer margin.

Formula

Wholesale price = retail price × (1 − retailer margin)

Example

Input

Cost $12, retail $40, retailer margin 50%

Result

Wholesale $20, profit $8 (40%)
