Cost Price Calculation from Markup Formula

$$\text{Cost Price} = \frac{\text{Selling Price}}{1 + \left( \frac{\text{Markup \%}}{100} \right)}$$

Where:

• Selling Price is the final price at which the product is sold
• Markup % is the percentage added to the cost price
• Cost Price is the original price before markup

Markup pricing is a common strategy in retail and commerce where a product’s cost price is increased by a percentage to ensure profit. This calculator reverses that logic — it lets you find out how much a product originally cost before markup was applied. It’s particularly useful when you know the retail price and markup rate but need to determine the base cost for accounting, pricing strategy, or supplier negotiation.
