retail markup

Seller's price increase

Retail markup is the amount a retailer adds to their wholesale cost to determine the selling price.

If a store buys a shirt for $20 and sells it for $35, the markup is $15—or 75% expressed as a percentage of cost.

Markup varies widely by industry: groceries typically carry thin markups, while jewelry and furniture often double or triple the wholesale price.
