Understanding Markup vs. Margin
Markup is the percentage added to the cost price to determine the selling price. It's calculated as: (Selling Price - Cost) / Cost × 100%. According to Investopedia, markup is commonly used in retail and business pricing strategies to ensure profitability.
Profit Margin is the percentage of the selling price that is profit. It's calculated as: (Selling Price - Cost) / Selling Price × 100%.
For example, a product that costs $100 with a 50% markup would sell for $150, giving you a profit margin of 33.33%.
