Margin vs markup: why the difference matters
Margin and markup use the same two numbers — cost and profit — but divide by different things. Margin divides profit by the selling price; markup divides profit by the cost. Confusing the two is one of the most common pricing mistakes, and it can lead to underpricing a product without realizing it. That’s exactly why a combined margin vs markup calculator like this one is useful — it shows both side by side. Some people search for this as a markup calculator, but the two numbers describe the same profit from different angles.
Frequently asked questions
Is the profit margin calculator free to use?
Yes, with no signup and no limit on how many calculations you run.
What’s the formula for profit margin?
Margin = (Selling Price − Cost) ÷ Selling Price × 100. Markup = (Selling Price − Cost) ÷ Cost × 100.
Why is my margin lower than my markup?
Markup is always higher than margin for the same numbers, because it divides by a smaller base (cost instead of price). A 50% markup is only a 33% margin.
Is my pricing data stored anywhere?
No. The calculator runs entirely in your browser — nothing you enter is sent to a server or saved.
