Markup and Margin Calculations
Sales work often involves calculating the various relations between markup,
margin, selling price and costs. Markup is defined as the difference between
selling price and cost, divided by the cost. Margin is defined as the difference
between selling price and cost, divided by selling price. In other words, markup is
based on cost and margin is based on selling price.
