Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between margin and markup?
Markup is profit as a percent of cost. Margin is profit as a percent of the selling price. The same profit gives a higher markup than margin.
How do I convert markup to margin?
Enter the cost and the markup percent. The tool computes the price, then expresses the profit as a percent of price to give the margin.
Why can't margin be 100% or more?
A 100% margin would mean the cost is zero, so the price is undefined. Margins must stay below 100%.
Is the profit figure exact?
Yes. Profit is price minus cost, and all money values are rounded to the nearest cent.
Is my data private?
Yes. Everything is calculated in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
