Contribution Margin Calculator
Find contribution margin per unit and its percentage of selling price.
Open toolFind the wholesale-price range compatible with cost recovery and an entered retailer margin. Provide Unit production cost, Supplied retail price, Target retailer gross margin (%) to compute results directly in your browser. Maximum wholesale=retail*(1-margin/100), minimum=production cost. Reports no feasible non-loss range if maximum is below cost. Excludes taxes, fixed costs and price advice. Inputs and results use floating-point numbers; output shows up to 12 significant digits. Rounding can occur. Common search workflows supported include "wholesale pricing calculator", "wholesale calculator", "how do you find wholesale price".
Enter the inputs, then select Calculate.

Review the input parameters, allowed value ranges, and worked reference cases for the Wholesale Price Calculator below before running your calculation.
| Parameter / Scenario | Default / Sample Value | Rule or Allowed Range | Output / Usage Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Input: Unit production cost | 20 | Range: 0 to 1000000000.0 | Required workspace parameter |
| Input: Supplied retail price | 50 | Range: 1e-09 to 1000000000.0 | Required workspace parameter |
| Input: Target retailer gross margin (%) | 40 | Range: 0 to 100 | Required workspace parameter |
| Worked Case 1: Baseline run (Unit production cost = 20) | Preloaded / test values | Find the wholesale-price range compatible with cost recovery and an entered retailer margin | Unit production cost = 20; Supplied retail price = 50; Target retailer gross margin (%) = 40. The displayed output is Cost-recovery floor: 20 Retailer-margin ceiling: 30 Feasible range: 20 to 30. |
| Worked Case 2: Comparison scenario (wholesale price calculator excel) | Preloaded / test values | Find the wholesale-price range compatible with cost recovery and an entered retailer margin | Unit production cost = 35; Supplied retail price = 50; Target retailer gross margin (%) = 40. The displayed output is Cost-recovery floor: 35 Retailer-margin ceiling: 30 Feasible range: No feasible non-loss range. |

These concrete scenarios illustrate how the Wholesale Price Calculator processes baseline inputs, comparison checks, and boundary constraints.
Unit production cost = 20; Supplied retail price = 50; Target retailer gross margin (%) = 40. The displayed output is Cost-recovery floor: 20 Retailer-margin ceiling: 30 Feasible range: 20 to 30.

Unit production cost = 35; Supplied retail price = 50; Target retailer gross margin (%) = 40. The displayed output is Cost-recovery floor: 35 Retailer-margin ceiling: 30 Feasible range: No feasible non-loss range.

When solving for 'wholesale pricing calculator', verify that Unit production cost, Supplied retail price, Target retailer gross margin (%) use consistent units and stay within the documented scope: Maximum wholesale=retail*(1-margin/100), minimum=production cost. Reports no feasible non-loss range if maximum is below cost. Excludes taxes, fixed costs and price advice. Inputs and results use floating-point numbers; output shows up to 12 significant digits. Rounding can occur.

The output panel reports the exact result derived from Unit production cost, Supplied retail price, Target retailer gross margin (%) alongside any unit or formatting notes.
The result is the cost floor, retailer-margin ceiling and feasibility status. Compare a proposed wholesale range with entered cost and retailer margin.
An empty feasible range is reported when the margin ceiling falls below production cost.
Numerical output shows up to 12 significant digits. Floating-point arithmetic and display rounding can affect the last digits.

Review these boundary constraints and validation rules before relying on the Wholesale Price Calculator output.
Operational scope: Maximum wholesale=retail*(1-margin/100), minimum=production cost. Reports no feasible non-loss range if maximum is below cost. Excludes taxes, fixed costs and price advice. Inputs and results use floating-point numbers; output shows up to 12 significant digits. Rounding can occur. Inputs that violate minimum/maximum bounds or required format rules are rejected with a clear diagnostic prompt.
