Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between margin and markup?
Margin is profit divided by selling price. Markup is profit divided by cost. A 50% markup is a 33.3% margin.
How do you calculate profit margin?
Margin % = (selling price − cost) / selling price × 100. Use the same currency units for both inputs.
Can I solve for selling price from a target margin?
Yes. Selling price = cost / (1 − target margin). A 40% margin on a $60 cost needs a $100 price.
Is gross margin the same as markup?
No. Gross margin uses selling price in the denominator; markup uses cost.
Does this include taxes or fees?
No. Enter net cost and price, or add fees into cost yourself before calculating.
