Understanding Markup vs Margin
Key Definitions:
- Markup: The amount added to cost to get selling price. Calculated as a percentage of COST.
- Margin: The profit as a percentage of the SELLING PRICE.
- Profit: Selling Price - Cost
Formulas:
- Markup %: (Profit / Cost) × 100
- Margin %: (Profit / Selling Price) × 100
- Selling Price: Cost × (1 + Markup/100)
- Convert Markup to Margin: Margin = Markup / (1 + Markup)
Example:
- Cost: $50
- 50% Markup: $50 × 1.5 = $75 selling price
- Profit: $75 - $50 = $25
- Margin: $25 / $75 = 33.3%
