Use this page when you need different margins for inexpensive and costly inventory items. Parts and wheels use separate sets of tiers, and the settings apply to one shop location at a time. You need Owner or Admin access for the shop or its dealership.
A markup applies only when an item has a cost but no sell price. TireTutor keeps an existing sell price.

Create a markup tier

When: A cost range needs its own fixed or percentage markup.
1

Open Parts & Wheels Markups

In the sidebar, under Shop Settings, select Parts & Wheels Markups.
2

Choose a markup section

Use Parts Markup for parts. Use Wheels Markup for wheels.
3

Add a tier

Select Add Tier in the correct section. The Add Markup Tier dialog opens.
Add Markup Tier dialog with Category set to Parts, a Markup field with a % and $ toggle, Cost range min and Cost range max fields, and Cancel and Save Tier buttons.

A new tier needs a category, a markup, and a cost range.

4

Set the cost range

Enter Cost range min ()∗∗and∗∗Costrangemax()** and **Cost range max (). The tier matches a cost from the minimum up to, but not including, the maximum.
5

Set the markup

Choose a percentage or fixed amount. Enter the value to add to cost.
6

Save the tier

Select Save Tier.
7

Save all changes

After you review both sections, select Save Changes.
8

Confirm the change summary

The Review your pricing changes dialog lists each change. Select Confirm save to apply them.
Review your pricing changes dialog listing one Parts Markup change from New to a cost range with a 20% rate, with Cancel and Confirm save buttons.

The dialog lists every pending tier change before anything saves.

The new tier appears in the correct section. Its cost range does not overlap another tier.

Build tiered markups

When: Less expensive items need a higher percentage than costly items.
1

Start with the lowest cost band

Create a tier for your least expensive parts or wheels.
2

Add the next cost band

Select Add Tier. Set the new minimum equal to the previous maximum, for example 0–100 and then 100–500.
3

Lower the percentage where needed

Use smaller percentages for costlier items when price competition is stronger.
4

Cover the full cost range you use

Repeat the tiers without overlaps or gaps. A cost that matches no tier gets no automatic markup.
5

Save all changes

Select Save Changes after you review every range.
6

Confirm the change summary

The Review your pricing changes dialog lists each change. Select Confirm save to apply them.
Each cost can match no more than one tier in Parts Markup or Wheels Markup.

How a tier sets a sell price

When a new item has cost but no sell price, TireTutor finds the matching tier. A tier matches a cost from its minimum up to, but not including, its maximum. TireTutor adds that tier’s fixed or percentage markup to cost. For example, a 20partwitha20020 part with a 200% markup gets a 40 markup. TireTutor creates a $60 sell price. This calculation happens when TireTutor creates the sell price. The markup does not replace a sell price that already exists.
