About this tool
What the Veterinary Lab Markup Calculator does
Diagnostic tests are commonly priced as the lab’s cost multiplied by a markup, plus a handling fee and a sample collection charge for the technician’s time. The result should cover the cost of interpreting and communicating results, not just the test itself.
Formula
- Price = lab cost × markup + handling + sample collection
- Margin = (price − lab cost) ÷ price
Worked example
Using the starting values in the calculator above:
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Lab cost of the test | $45.00 |
| Markup multiplier | 2.2 |
| Handling and submission fee | $12.00 |
| Sample collection fee | $18.00 |
| Tests per month | 120 |
| Result | Value |
|---|---|
| Client price | $129.00 |
| Gross margin | 65.1% |
| Gross profit per test | $84.00 |
| Monthly gross profit | $10,080 |
How to read the result
Use a lower multiplier on expensive tests and a higher one on low-cost tests to keep prices reasonable.
