There is plenty to consider when creating wholesale and retail price points.

Here are the primary considerations using the most simplest, rudimentary explanation. Note: Pricing for profitability can be more complex. But we are keeping things simple since this is a blog.

1) Bottoms-Up Pricing: Start with your COGS and add in all your other expense line items (e.g., promotions, duties, international shipping, insurance, etc.). Then add your internal profit margin (this is a personal decision). What results is your Wholesale Price. From there, add your retailer margin (most common is keystone at 50%, but it varies by distribution channel and product category) and what results is your Retail Price.
