Margin or markup?
The same sale gives two different percentages. Margin divides profit by revenue and can never exceed 100%; markup divides profit by cost and often runs well above 100%. Price with markup, judge profitability with margin.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between margin and markup?
Both start from the same profit (revenue − cost), but divide by different numbers. Margin is profit ÷ revenue, so it is always below 100%. Markup is profit ÷ cost, and can exceed 100%. A 60% margin is a 150% markup on the same sale.
How do I calculate profit margin?
Subtract cost from revenue to get profit, then divide profit by revenue and multiply by 100. For a $40 cost sold at $100, profit is $60 and margin is 60 ÷ 100 × 100 = 60%.
Does the currency matter?
No. The calculator is currency-neutral — enter cost and revenue in whatever currency you use, and the margin and markup percentages come out the same.
