A markup is known as that amount of the unit cost that represents the difference between what the seller charges for a good or service and the costs that is associated with securing and selling that good or service. To determine the markup percentage that will result in the final unit cost there are several different formulas that are used. Generally, while allowing the seller to make the highest profit possible from the venture the seller will make sure the ratio still keeps the sale price competitive.

In some industries, there are general standards by which the rate of marking up the final unit price is governed. For instance, there are many retail markup strategies that call for the sale price to reflect at least a thirty-three percent increase over the seller’s actual cost.
