Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between markup and margin?
Markup is the percentage added to the cost price to get the selling price (profit / cost). Margin is profit as a percentage of the selling price (profit / revenue). A 100% markup equals a 50% margin.
How do I convert markup to margin?
Margin = Markup / (1 + Markup). For example, a 50% markup (0.50) gives a margin of 0.50 / 1.50 = 33.3%. Conversely, Markup = Margin / (1 - Margin).
What is a typical markup?
It varies by industry. Grocery: 15-30%. Clothing: 100-300%. Restaurants: 200-400% on food. Electronics: 10-50%. Services: 50-100%.
