Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 100% markup?
A 100% markup means you doubled the cost. If an item costs $50 and you mark it up 100%, the selling price is $100. This equals a 50% profit margin.
How do I convert markup to margin?
Margin = Markup / (1 + Markup). For example, a 50% markup (0.50) gives: 0.50 / 1.50 = 33.3% margin.
What markup should I use?
It depends on your industry and costs. Retail clothing often uses 50-100% markup, groceries 5-25%, and electronics 30-50%. Consider all overhead costs when setting markup.
