Quick FAQ

Is this accounting advice?
No. It calculates margin and markup from the numbers you enter, but it does not replace accounting or pricing review.

What is the difference between margin and markup?
Margin is profit divided by selling price. Markup is profit divided by cost. They are not interchangeable.

Should I include overhead?
Include overhead, transaction fees, shipping, labor, and returns if you want a realistic product or service margin.

Why can a good margin still lose money?
Gross margin may ignore fixed costs, marketing, financing, taxes, inventory shrinkage, or customer acquisition cost.
