Skincare & Cosmetics Margin Calculator

Markup is calculated on cost; margin on selling price. Rp50,000 cost with a 60% markup gives Rp80,000 and Rp30,000 profit — but Rp30,000 / Rp80,000 is 37.5%, not 60%. For a true 60% margin the price must be Rp50,000 / 0.4 = Rp125,000. The gap is large, which is why this calculator offers all three methods separately.

Profit per unit = price − cost − extra costs − (fee% × price). At Rp90,000 price, Rp50,000 cost, Rp5,000 packaging and inbound shipping, 8% fee (Rp7,200): profit is Rp27,800, a net margin near 31%. The fee is what's most often missed, because it's deducted later at settlement.

Yes. All cosmetics and skincare sold commercially require BPOM notification or distribution approval before marketing. This covers everyone — resellers, online sellers, own-brand private label, and home production. Selling without it is illegal and carries severe penalties. Check status via the official BPOM app or website. 'It already sells well' and 'the supplier says it's fine' are not proof.

It depends on model and turnover. High-volume resellers can survive on thinner margins; a shop selling fewer units with consultation usually needs more. What matters isn't the percentage but whether it covers your operating costs — rent, salaries, ads — and still leaves profit. A 40% margin sounds fine until ads eat half of it.

Because price above cost isn't enough. Per-unit extras and marketplace fees both cut in, and are usually larger than assumed. A Rp10,000 spread can go negative after Rp5,000 packaging and an 8% fee. The calculator warns when that happens, so you find out before ordering stock.
