Target gross margin is the percentage of your selling price that becomes gross profit after subtracting variable costs.
Example: With a 50% margin and $10 in variable costs, your price will be $20 — $10 covers costs and $10 is gross profit.
Market adjustment fine-tunes the calculated price up or down based on competitive positioning. Use a positive % to price above the baseline (premium), or a negative % to stay below (competitive).
Manual pricing lets you set the exact price you want to charge. The calculator will then show you the resulting gross margin, break-even point, and monthly profit automatically.
Use this method when you already have a market price in mind — for example, based on competitor research, customer surveys, or a price you've tested before.
