Pricing too low means you can&#8217;t cover your costs or grow. For manufacturers and wholesalers, finding the right price requires accounting for materials, labor, overhead, and target margins together.

From there, you can use cost data in your pricing workflows and, with Method customization services, set up wholesale and tiered pricing for retailers, distributors, or bulk buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-core-concepts-of-wholesale-price-cost-markup-margin-amp-total-cost\"><strong>Core concepts of wholesale price: Cost, markup, margin &amp; total cost<\/strong> \u270d\ufe0f<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Before you can calculate a reliable wholesale price, you need a clear picture of what your product actually costs to produce. Most sellers jump to a \u201cmarkup formula\u201d too quickly, but the foundation is always the same: know your costs, then build pricing on top of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"border: 1.5px solid #999; border-radius: 6px; margin: 2em 0; position: relative; padding: 1.75em 1.25em 1.25em;\">\n<h3 style=\"position: absolute; top: -0.9em; left: 1.25em; background: #fff; padding: 0 0.75em; margin: 0; font-size: 1.7rem; line-height: 1.5; font-weight: bold; color: #1a1a1a;\">Cost price vs COGS<\/h3>\n<div style=\"color: #333; line-height: 1.6;\">\n\nCost price is the amount a business pays to acquire or produce one unit of a product. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.method.me\/blog\/manufacturing-cogs\/\">COGS (cost of goods sold)<\/a>\n  is the total cost of all units sold during a period, which includes materials, labor, and overhead tied to production. One is a per-unit figure, the other captures the full cost of what actually left the shelves.\n\nFor example, if a bakery spends $2 to make one muffin, that\u2019s the cost price. If it sells 1,000 muffins in a month, its COGS is $2,000.\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Now that you have a foundation via the cost price, you can venture on to the <em>total cost<\/em>, which is the cost price + part of the expenses that keep the business operating. Rent, utilities, website fees, equipment wear-and-tear, marketing, admin work, fulfillment, and storage all fall into this category. It&#8217;s important to note that these are not tied to one specific unit; they must be implemented across the entire library of products. Otherwise, your wholesale pricing will always be incorrect, as you are not accounting for enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">A lot of confusion comes from mixing up <em>markup<\/em> and <em>margin<\/em>, so it helps to keep the distinction simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"border-left: 4px solid #FB5950; padding-left: 1em; margin: 2em 0; font-size: 1rem;\">\n\n  <strong>Markup<\/strong><br \/>\n  is how much you increase your cost to arrive at a selling price.<br \/>\n  <em>Selling Price = Cost \u00d7 (1 + Markup %)<\/em>\n\n  <br \/><br \/>\n\n  <strong>Margin<\/strong><br \/>\n  is the percentage of profit you keep from the selling price.<br \/>\n  <em>Margin % = (Selling Price \u2013 Cost) \u00f7 Selling Price<\/em>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">They look similar, but they\u2019re not interchangeable; a 50% markup does not equal a 50% margin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>To anchor the terminology, here\u2019s a quick reference:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong>COGS:<\/strong> The direct cost of producing one unit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Markup:<\/strong> The percentage you add on top of cost<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Gross margin:<\/strong> The portion of revenue left after covering COGS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Wholesale price:<\/strong> The price you offer to retailers or distributors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Retail price:<\/strong> What the end customer pays<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-calculate-wholesale-price\"><strong>How to calculate wholesale price<\/strong> \ud83d\udd22<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Below is the step-by-step method for calculating product cost, and a built-in calculator you can use right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"step-1-calculate-raw-material-amp-direct-costs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 1: Calculate raw material &amp; direct costs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Just add up everything tied directly to producing one unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"step-2-add-labor-packaging-amp-shipping\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 2: Add labor, packaging &amp; shipping<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Include the time it takes to make the product, plus packaging materials, and the cost to ship it to your buyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"step-3-allocate-overhead\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 3: Allocate overhead<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Take your monthly overhead and divide it by the number of units produced.
