- What is the difference between margin and markup?
- Both start from the same profit. Margin divides it by the selling price, markup by the cost. A 50% markup is only a 33.33% margin, so a price set with one in mind and checked with the other comes out wrong.
- Gross margin or net margin?
- Enter only the direct cost of what you sold and the result is gross margin. Enter all costs, overheads included, and it is net margin.
- How do I find the price for a target margin?
- Divide the cost by one minus the margin: for a 40% margin on a cost of 90, the price is 90 ÷ 0.6 = 150.
