FAQ
Q. Is 50% markup the same as 50% margin?
No. With a cost of $100, a 50% markup gives a selling price of $150 ($50 profit), while a 50% margin requires a selling price of $200 ($100 profit). Markup is cost-based; margin is revenue-based.
Q. What is a typical markup?
It varies by industry: groceries typically 25–50%, apparel 100–300%, electronics 5–20%. It also depends on competition and brand positioning.
Q. How do I convert markup to margin?
Margin (%) = Markup (%) ÷ (100 + Markup (%)) × 100. Example: 100% markup → Margin = 100 ÷ 200 × 100 = 50%.
