Profit sounds simple, but margin and markup are two different numbers and mixing them up quietly costs sellers money. This tool takes your cost price and selling price and shows the profit per item, the profit margin and the markup, each explained.
Margin is profit as a share of the selling price (profit ÷ selling price); markup is profit as a share of the cost price (profit ÷ cost). A product bought for Rs. 1,000 and sold for Rs. 1,500 carries a 50% markup but only a 33% margin. Retailers and wholesalers usually talk in margin, so knowing both keeps you from under-pricing.
Margin is profit divided by the selling price; markup is profit divided by the cost price. A Rs. 1,000 item sold for Rs. 1,500 has a 50% markup but a 33% margin.
Subtract cost from selling price to get profit, then divide by the selling price and multiply by 100. This tool does it for you and also shows the markup.
It varies by industry — fast-moving retail runs on thin margins while services can be much higher. Use the tool to compare products and set prices that cover costs and target profit.
Divide the cost by (1 − target margin/100). For a 33% margin on a Rs. 1,000 cost, sell at 1,000 ÷ 0.67 ≈ Rs. 1,500.
