How to work out profit margin

  1. Type your cost price.
  2. Type the selling price, or choose Margin I want or Markup I want to find the price to charge.

Margin or markup?

They are different. Buy at Rs 800 and sell at Rs 1,000: profit is Rs 200. That is a 25% markup on cost, but a 20% margin of the price.

  • Margin = profit ÷ selling price × 100
  • Markup = profit ÷ cost × 100

Is anything I type saved?

No. The numbers are worked out in your browser and are not sent anywhere.
