Parts Markup & Margin Calculator
Set the right selling price for parts. Switch between markup-first and price-first modes. Always shows both markup and margin so you don’t confuse the two.
Part details
Common parts markup: 25–35% (high-volume), 40–60% (standard), 80–100%+ (specialty).
Selling price
R 1 400
Profit per unit: R 400
Markup vs Margin are not the same. A 50% markup is a 33% margin. Customers compare margins; suppliers and accountants quote markups. Quote the right one for the right audience.
Pricing parts the right way
Match competitor visibility, not price
Customers see online MRPs for popular parts. If you’re 30% over MRP they walk. If you’re 5% over and you save them a wait, they pay.
Bundle high-margin with low-margin
Brake pads have low markup but brake fluid + cleaner have 100%+. Bundle them in your quote to lift average margin without raising any single line.
Be honest about OEM vs OEM-equivalent
Customers will pay genuine prices for genuine parts. Quoting OEM-equivalent at OEM price destroys trust the moment they Google the part number.
