💡 Margin ≠ Markup

Margin vs Markup — Side by Side
If cost is $100, here's how common percentages compare:
| % | As Markup | As Margin |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | Price $120.00 · Profit $20.00 · Margin 16.7% | Price $125.00 · Profit $25.00 · Markup 25.0% |
| 30% | Price $130.00 · Profit $30.00 · Margin 23.1% | Price $142.86 · Profit $42.86 · Markup 42.9% |
| 40% | Price $140.00 · Profit $40.00 · Margin 28.6% | Price $166.67 · Profit $66.67 · Markup 66.7% |
| 50% | Price $150.00 · Profit $50.00 · Margin 33.3% | Price $200.00 · Profit $100.00 · Markup 100.0% |
| 75% | Price $175.00 · Profit $75.00 · Margin 42.9% | Price $400.00 · Profit $300.00 · Markup 300.0% |
| 100% | Price $200.00 · Profit $100.00 · Margin 50.0% | 100% margin = impossible (infinite price) |
Key takeaway: A 30% markup gives you only 23.1% margin. A 30% margin requires a 42.9% markup.
Margin is always less than markup for the same percentage. Confusing them can cost real money.
