Markup & Margin Calculator
Convert between markup and margin — they are not the same number, and confusing them costs money.
Markup is profit divided by cost; margin is profit divided by selling price. A 50% markup is only a 33% margin, which is why the two are so often confused and why pricing set against the wrong one falls short. Enter any two of cost, price, markup or margin and get the rest.
