Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my Markup higher than my Margin?
Because markup is calculated based on cost (a lower number) and margin is calculated based on revenue (a higher number). For example, a 100% markup on a $50 item means you sell it for $100. Your profit is $50, which is a 50% margin.
How do I calculate the selling price I need?
Simply type your item's cost into the Cost field, and type your target percentage into the Margin or Markup field. The Selling Price field will automatically update to show you what to charge.
