Margin and markup are often confused, which leads many businesses to underprice their products or services. A proper margin calculator helps you understand your real profit, set better selling prices, and protect profitability when costs change.
Margin is profit as a percentage of selling price, while markup is profit as a percentage of cost. For example, if a product costs 80 and sells for 100, the profit is 20. The gross margin is 20% because 20 ÷ 100 = 20%, while the markup is 25% because 20 ÷ 80 = 25%.
