Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between markup and margin?

Markup is based on cost: (Selling Price - Cost) ÷ Cost × 100. Margin is based on selling price: (Selling Price - Cost) ÷ Selling Price × 100. A 100% markup equals a 50% margin.

How do I calculate selling price from cost and markup?

Selling Price = Cost × (1 + Markup%). If cost is ₹100 and markup is 50%, selling price = ₹100 × 1.50 = ₹150.

What is a typical markup percentage?

Markups vary by industry: Groceries 15-25%, Clothing 50-100%, Electronics 30-50%, Restaurants 200-300% on food. Consider competition, perceived value, and operating costs.

How do I convert margin to markup?

Markup = Margin ÷ (1 - Margin). A 25% margin = 0.25 ÷ 0.75 = 33.3% markup. A 50% margin = 0.50 ÷ 0.50 = 100% markup.

Why is understanding markup important?

Proper markup ensures profitability after covering all costs. Too low means losses; too high means lost sales. Calculate break-even markup by including all fixed and variable costs.
