Compare markup % and margin % from cost and selling price. Markup shows profit relative to cost; margin shows profit relative to price—mixing them breaks pricing.
Quick business summary
Enter cost and selling price to see profit, markup %, and margin % side by side. Use this before setting list prices, reviewing quotes, or explaining profitability to sales teams.
Practical overview
Example: cost €50, price €75 → profit €25, markup 50%, margin 33.3%. A 50% markup is not a 50% margin. The online calculator keeps both formulas consistent.

Reading one indicator in isolation instead of connecting profitability, liquidity, leverage, and operational reality.
