What is the difference between margin and markup?

Margin is profit as a share of the selling price; markup is profit as a share of the cost. An item that costs $10 and sells for $15 has $5 profit: a 33% margin and a 50% markup. To hit a target margin, price = cost / (1 - margin).

What people ask

Pain point

How can I calculate profit margin and markup without a formula?

PAnswer from Pludor

Enter your cost and selling price in Pludor's free Profit Margin & Markup Calculator. You get profit, margin and markup - and the price you need for a target margin.

Pain point

How can I find the price for a 40% margin?

PAnswer from Pludor

Enter your cost and target margin; the calculator gives the selling price using cost / (1 - margin).

Problem

Why is margin different from markup?

PAnswer from Pludor

Margin is profit as a share of the price; markup is profit as a share of the cost. A 50% markup is only a 33% margin - mixing them up is a common pricing mistake.
