Selling Price = Cost × (1 + Markup% / 100)
Markup % = ((Selling Price − Cost) / Cost) × 100
Profit = Selling Price − Cost
Margin % = (Profit / Selling Price) × 100

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 50% markup the same as 50% margin?
No. A 50% markup on a $40 cost gives a $60 selling price and a 33.3% margin. Markup % is always higher than margin % for the same product.
