How to use this tool

A decision, not just an output

Compare profit margin and cost markup so you can price a product without confusing the two percentages. Read the output alongside its interpretation, assumptions, limitations, and source. Marketplace rates and external requirements should always be confirmed at the linked official source.

Formula & example

Transparent method

Profit = price − cost; margin = profit ÷ price; markup = profit ÷ cost.

Example: A $100 selling price and $60 total cost produces $40 profit, 40% margin, and 66.67% markup.

Assumptions

  • • Selling price and total cost refer to the same unit or order.
  • • Total cost includes every cost you want reflected in the result.

Limitations

  • • Taxes and cash-flow timing are not modeled.
  • • The result is planning information, not accounting advice.
