Retail Price Calculator

Retail Price Calculator Australia

The retail pricing game can be confusing: price it too low and you lose profit; price it too high and the customers walk away.

Whether you operate a small store, café, or a multi-location retail business, this calculator helps you price smarter and stay profitable.

What Is a Retail Price Calculator?

A retail price calculator is a utility that assists retail businesses in determining the retail price of their products based on the cost price and the profit they intend to make.

• Selling price (ex-GST)
• GST amount (10%)
• Final retail price (inc-GST)
• Markup percentage
• Profit margin percentage

This makes it easier to price products correctly and stay compliant with Australian tax rules.

Why Retail Pricing Is Important in Australia

Pricing isn't just about covering the product cost. Australian retailers also need to consider:

• Rent and operating expenses
• Staff wages
• GST obligations
• Competitive pricing
• Sustainable profit margins

Key Retail Pricing Terms Explained

Cost Price (COGS)

The cost price, also called Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), is how much the product costs you to buy or make, excluding GST.

Markup Percentage

Markup is the percentage you add on top of the cost price to set your selling price.

Profit Margin

Profit margin shows how much profit you make from the final selling price.

Margin gives a clearer picture of profitability than markup.

• Retail price ex-GST
