Margin vs Markup
Profit margin is the percentage of the selling price that is profit. Markup is the percentage increase over the cost price. For example, if you buy for $50 and sell for $80, your margin is 37.5% (30/80) while your markup is 60% (30/50). Understanding both metrics helps in pricing strategy.
