Cost-plus pricing

Cost-plus pricing starts from a defined cost base and adds a markup or desired profit. Specify whether costs include only purchasing or also transport, handling and allocated fixed costs. Otherwise identical markups can misleadingly suggest comparable returns.[1]

Calculate per saleable unit and state whether amounts exclude recoverable VAT. Then check whether buyers will accept the resulting price. Costing shows what a price needs to cover; it does not establish that the market will support that price or that every assumed sales volume will materialise.
