Technical Architecture & Execution Mechanics
The Mathematical Difference Between Margin and Markup
Gross Profit = Revenue - Cost. Gross Margin (%) = (Gross Profit / Revenue) * 100. Markup (%) = (Gross Profit / Cost) * 100. To achieve a target Margin M from Cost C: Revenue = C / (1 - (M / 100)). Markup is always higher than Margin for any profitable transaction.
Margin = (Profit / Revenue)*100 | Markup = (Profit / Cost)*100Technical Limitations & Operational Constraints
- Calculations represent gross profit before deducting fixed operating expenses, shipping fees, or marketplace seller commissions.

Frequently Asked Questions & Answers
What is the difference between profit margin and markup?
Profit Margin is profit divided by Selling Price (revenue-based). Markup is profit divided by Cost (cost-based). For example, a $50 cost item sold for $100 has a 50% Margin, but a 100% Markup.
If my product costs $40 and I want a 40% margin, what should I sell it for?
Selling Price = $40 / (1 - 0.40) = $66.67. (Selling at $56 only yields a 28.5% margin).
Are my wholesale costs and product pricing kept private?
Yes! All calculations run 100% client-side inside your browser.
Can I use this for Amazon FBA and Shopify store pricing?
