COMMON QUESTIONS

Markup & Margin Calculator FAQ

Are markup and margin the same?

No. A 50% markup does not equal a 50% margin because the percentages use different bases.

What happens if price is below cost?

The calculator shows a negative profit and negative percentages where applicable.

Does this include payment fees or taxes?

Only if you include those expenses in the cost you enter.
