Assumptions used

What this answer assumes

Gross margin check only. Include all real costs before using the result for a quote or report.

  • Profit margin uses net selling price as the denominator, not cost.
  • Markup uses total cost as the denominator, so margin and markup percentages are not the same.
  • Discount is applied to selling price before profit and margin are calculated.
  • Extra cost is added to cost before profit, margin and markup are calculated.
  • This is gross pricing arithmetic only. It does not include tax, VAT/GST, income tax, accounting policy, inventory timing, refunds or legal advice unless those effects are included in the entered costs.

Master’s Tip

How to use the result well

Master’s Tip: print the price, cost, discount and extra-cost lines before approving a quote. A margin that looks safe before card fees, freight, waste or callbacks can become weak once those real costs are added.

Method

Net selling price = selling price × (1 − discount percent ÷ 100). Total cost = cost + extra cost. Gross profit = net selling price − total cost. Profit margin % = gross profit ÷ net selling price × 100. Markup % = gross profit ÷ total cost × 100.

  1. Selling price 150 with cost 100 and no discount gives gross profit = 150 − 100 = 50. Profit margin = 50 ÷ 150 × 100 = 33.33%. Markup = 50 ÷ 100 × 100 = 50%.

Assumptions

  • Profit margin uses net selling price as the denominator, not cost.
  • Markup uses total cost as the denominator, so margin and markup percentages are not the same.
  • Discount is applied to selling price before profit and margin are calculated.
  • Extra cost is added to cost before profit, margin and markup are calculated.
