Margin vs Markup: Know the Difference
While both margin and markup use the same basic data (cost and revenue), they provide different perspectives. Margin is calculated based on the selling price, while markup is based on the cost.
For example, if an item costs ₹100 and sells for ₹150, the profit is ₹50. The markup is 50%, but the profit margin is only 33.3%. Understanding this distinction is vital for maintaining a healthy bottom line.
