Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between markup and margin?

Markup is profit divided by cost. Margin is profit divided by the selling price. A product that costs $40 and sells for $60 has a 50% markup and a 33.33% margin.

What markup should I use?

It depends on your industry, costs and competition. Start from the margin you need to cover expenses and profit, then convert it to markup with the tool.
