Markup is not margin

  • Markup % expresses profit as a percentage of cost.
  • Gross margin % expresses profit as a percentage of selling price.

Confusing the two silently destroys margin. A 40% markup does not mean a 40% margin.

Two modes in one tool

  1. Enter cost and markup on cost to see sell price, profit, and the implied margin on price.
  2. Enter cost and a target margin to see the minimum sell price and the equivalent markup on cost.
