COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

What is markup?

Markup is profit divided by cost, expressed as a percentage of cost.

How do I calculate a selling price from markup?

Multiply cost by one plus the markup percentage expressed as a decimal.

Is markup the same as margin?

No. Markup is based on cost, while margin is based on selling price.

Can I use a markup above 100%?

Yes. A 100% markup doubles the cost price; larger markups increase the selling price further.
