Cómo usar la calculadora de recargo

This guide explains the inputs, formula, assumptions, example calculation, and the difference between markup and margin.

Qué hace esta calculadora

It calculates selling price and markup amount from cost and markup percentage. It also shows gross margin so you can compare the two terms.

Quién debería usarla

Sellers, shop owners, and small business operators who need a quick pricing rule for products or menu items.

Definición de campos

  • Costo: what it costs you to make or buy the item
  • Porcentaje de recargo: the extra amount you add on top of cost

Fórmula

  • Monto del recargo: cost × markup percentage
  • Precio de venta: cost + markup amount
  • Margen bruto: markup amount ÷ selling price

Supuestos

  • Cost and markup apply to the same item or product line
  • El ejemplo usa USD, pero la matemática funciona para cualquier moneda
  • Taxes, shipping, discounts, and fees are excluded unless you build them into cost

Ejemplo rápido

Un artículo de panadería cuesta $30 y usa un recargo de 40%.

Monto del recargo = 30 × 40% = $12

Precio de venta = 30 + 12 = $42

Margen bruto = 12 ÷ 42 = 28.6%

Cómo interpretar el resultado

If you want a 40% markup, you are adding 40% of cost. That is not the same as a 40% gross margin.

Errores comunes

  • Using selling price instead of cost as the base
  • Confundir recargo con margen
  • Ignoring overhead or fees that should be part of cost
