What products are not achieving markup set up in your system?
One of the most exciting and nerve-wracking aspects of retail is determining what price to sell your products at. Pricing is both an art and a science that requires an experimental attitude coupled with an intuitive feel.
What is Markup? - Markup is the difference between the cost of a good or service and its selling price.
How to calculate Markup?
Markup % = ((Sell Price – Std Cost)/ Std Cost)*100
NB: This formula excludes GST.
NB: Std Cost maybe referred to in other industries as list cost / list price.
