Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between margin and markup?
Margin is profit as a percentage of revenue: (revenue − cost) ÷ revenue × 100. Markup is profit as a percentage of cost: (revenue − cost) ÷ cost × 100.
What is a good profit margin?
It varies by industry — retail often runs 20–40% gross margin, software can exceed 70%. Compare with similar businesses, not with other industries.
Why is markup higher than margin?
Because markup divides by the smaller number (cost) while margin divides by revenue, so markup is always the larger percentage for the same sale.
