Low markup products

Helps analyze the current markup of products and highlights items that may need a price review.

To calculate markup, the profit from the product is divided by its cost and multiplied by 100%. Only paid sales and closed orders with full or partial payment are included.

Not included in the calculation:

  • orders in statuses “New”, “In Progress”, “Deferred”, “Ready”, “Closed Unsuccessfully”;
  • unpaid sales;
  • products with a markup higher than 30%.

Indicators:

  • Markup, % — profit ÷ cost × 100%
  • Revenue — price minus discount × quantity

Let’s take a order with the product “Phone Case”.

Price $800, cost $600, discount $100, quantity 1 pc

Calculate separately:

Revenue — (800 – 100) × 1 = $700

Cost — 600 × 1 = $600

Profit — (800 – 100) – 600 = $100

Markup — (100 ÷ 600) × 100% = 16.7%

Product markup: 16.7% — low, price review may be needed.
