    Try

    =ROUND(price*(1+35%),2)

    etc.

    Hi Bob,
    thanks for the speedy reply. What I need to do is not to add 35% (etc) on, but to end up with a price which would be giving a 35% margin, so the value would be circa £4.76. Does that make sense?

    Hi Allgermanparts

    How about
    =ROUND((Price*Profit%)/(1+Profit%),2)

    This should give you the sales price

    =ROUND(cost_price/(1-profit),2)
