What's the Difference?
📊 Markup: Markup is the percentage added to your cost to determine the selling price. It's calculated based on cost.
💰 Margin: Margin is the percentage of the selling price that is profit. It's calculated based on selling price.
💡 Key Insight: Example: If an item costs $50 and you sell it for $75, you have a $25 profit. That's a 50% markup (25/50) but only a 33.33% margin (25/75).
