Questions
What is the difference between margin and markup?
Both start from the same profit. Margin compares it with the selling price, markup compares it with the cost. Cost 60 and price 100 give a margin of 40 % and a markup of 66.67 %.
How do I calculate the selling price from a margin?
Divide the cost by one minus the margin. With a cost of 80 and a margin of 20 %, the selling price is 80 divided by 0.8, which is 100.
Can the margin be negative?
Yes. If the selling price is below the cost, profit, margin and markup are all shown as negative numbers.
Are my numbers sent to a server?
No. The numbers are processed on your device, not uploaded.
