FAQ
What's the difference between margin and markup?
Margin is calculated from selling price (profit/price), markup — from cost (profit/cost). Markup is always higher than margin.
Which is more important — margin or markup?
Both metrics are important. Margin shows profitability, markup shows trade markup.
How to calculate margin?
Margin = (Price - Cost) ÷ Price × 100%. For example: (150 - 100) ÷ 150 = 33.33%
How to calculate markup?
Markup = (Price - Cost) ÷ Cost × 100%. For example: (150 - 100) ÷ 100 = 50%
Why is markup always higher than margin?
Because margin divides by price (larger number), markup — by cost (smaller number).
