Understanding Margin Formulas

1. Profit Margin Percentage

Measures how much out of every currency unit of sales you keep in earnings.

Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price
Profit Margin % = (Profit / Selling Price) × 100

2. Markup Percentage

Measures the percentage increase over the purchase cost of the goods sold.

Markup % = (Profit / Cost Price) × 100

3. Break-Even Price (Advanced)

The minimum unit price you need to charge to cover all direct and indirect expenses.

Break-Even Price = Cost Price + Shipping + Packaging + Expenses

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is Margin the same as Markup?

No. While both measure profitability, Profit Margin is calculated as a percentage of the selling price, whereas Markup is a percentage of the cost price.

What is ROI (Return on Investment) in pricing?

ROI is the ratio of net profit to total cost. It tells you how much money you made relative to the total money you spent generating that inventory/sales volume.

Can my profit margin be greater than 100%?

No. Since profit cannot exceed the selling price (unless cost is negative, which is impossible), a product's profit margin will always be less than 100%. However, Markup can easily exceed 100%.
