FAQ

What is the difference between margin and markup?

Margin = profit ÷ selling price × 100 (share of the sale kept as profit). Markup = profit ÷ cost × 100 (mark-up over cost). Markup is always higher than margin.

How do I calculate profit margin?

Profit = selling price − cost. Margin % = profit ÷ selling price × 100.

What is a good profit margin?

It varies by industry — low-margin trading may run at 5–15% while services can exceed 40%. Compare against your sector benchmark.
