How to use

Markup is how much you add on top of cost to set a price. Retailers quote it; it is not the same as margin.

Formula

Markup = (Price − Cost) / Cost

FAQ

Markup 50% equals margin 50%?

No. A 50% markup is only a 33% margin.

Which should I use for pricing?

Pick one and stay consistent; many retailers think in markup, finance in margin.
