Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between margin and markup?

Margin is profit as a share of the selling price; markup is profit as a share of cost. An item costing 100 and selling for 150 has a 33.3% margin but a 50% markup. Quoting one when you mean the other is a common source of underpricing.
