How this calculator works
Margin = profit ÷ selling price × 100
Margin measures profit as a percentage of selling price. Markup measures profit as a percentage of cost. PercentScope always shows both so the two are not confused.
Example: cost $40, sell for $75
Profit is $35. Margin is 35 ÷ 75 = 46.67%, while markup is 35 ÷ 40 = 87.5%.
Frequently asked questions

How do I price for a 30% margin?
Divide cost by 1 minus the margin rate. A $70 cost at 30% margin requires a $100 selling price.
