Margin vs Markup

Margin (Profit Margin)

The percentage of the selling price that is profit.
Margin = (Price - Cost) / Price × 100

Markup

The percentage added to the cost to get the selling price.
Markup = (Price - Cost) / Cost × 100

Key Insight

A 50% markup ≠ 50% margin. A 50% markup gives you a 33.3% margin. This is a common mistake in pricing strategy.
