Markup and Profit Margin are both ways of calculating percent profit.
The difference is:
- Profit margin is percent profit vs. selling price.
- Markup is percent profit vs. cost.
Note: In some cases, negative percentages will be shown for margin or markup.
This is a normal function of the calculation logic.
MARGIN
EXAMPLE:
Calculate the profit margin of a $65.00 Item being sold at $89.00.
SELLING PRICE (USING MARGIN)
EXAMPLE:
Calculate the selling price (a) and the gross profit (b) from a cost of $8,160
on the basis of a 15% profit on the selling price.
COST (USING MARGIN)
EXAMPLE:
Calculate the cost (a) and the gross profit (b) from a selling price of $500
on the basis of a 35% profit on the selling price.
