How to Use This Calculator

Using our product pricing calculator is simple. Follow these steps:

The calculator will display the final price including tax, which you can use to price your product competitively in the market.

Formula Used

The recommended selling price is calculated using the following formula:

Selling Price = (Cost Price × (1 + Profit Margin)) × (1 + Sales Tax)

Where:

Cost Price is the amount you pay to acquire or produce the product.
Profit Margin is the percentage of profit you want to earn on the product.
Sales Tax is the applicable tax rate on the selling price.

This formula ensures that you account for both your desired profit and the additional tax that will be applied to the final price.

Worked Example

Let's walk through an example to illustrate how the calculator works.

Scenario: You produce a product with a cost price of PHP 500. You want to earn a 20% profit margin and the applicable sales tax rate is 12%.

Step 1: Calculate the price before tax:

Price Before Tax = Cost Price × (1 + Profit Margin) = PHP 500 × (1 + 0.20) = PHP 500 × 1.20 = PHP 600

Step 2: Add the sales tax to get the final selling price:

Selling Price = Price Before Tax × (1 + Sales Tax) = PHP 600 × (1 + 0.12) = PHP 600 × 1.12 = PHP 672

The recommended selling price for this product is PHP 672, which includes a 20% profit margin and 12% sales tax.
