Frequently Asked Questions

1 What is the difference between profit margin and markup?
Profit Margin is the ratio of gross profit to the selling price (revenue): `Margin = (Profit / Revenue) * 100`. Markup is the ratio of profit to the cost price: `Markup = (Profit / Cost) * 100`. Margin evaluates profit relative to final revenue, while markup shows how much above cost the item is priced.
2 How is selling price calculated based on cost and margin?
To find the selling price for a desired gross profit margin, use the formula: `Selling Price = Cost / (1 - Margin%)`. For example, if an item costs ₹100 and you want a 20% margin, the required selling price is `100 / (1 - 0.20) = ₹125`.
3 How do I calculate the markup required to reach a specific margin?
Markup can be converted from a desired margin using the formula: `Markup = Margin / (1 - Margin)`. For example, to achieve a 20% profit margin, you must apply a 25% markup to the cost price (`0.20 / (1 - 0.20) = 0.25`).
4 Why is margin calculation important for business sales?
Margin calculations ensure that you price products high enough to cover all acquisition costs and operating overheads while remaining profitable, preventing selling items at values that fail to sustain business cash flow.
5 Are my pricing sheets and product costs saved in your database?
No. All calculations are performed on-the-fly on your device using client-side JavaScript. None of your inputs, cost sheets, or calculated margins are uploaded, shared, or stored on our servers.
