Markup vs Margin — The Key Difference
Many business owners confuse markup and margin. Both measure profit, but from different perspectives:
- Markup = (Price - Cost) / Cost × 100 — Based on cost.
- Margin = (Price - Cost) / Price × 100 — Based on selling price.
A 100% markup always equals a 50% margin. A 50% markup equals a 33.3% margin. Understanding this distinction is crucial for pricing strategy.
