Markup vs margin: quick reference
Markup is profit as a percentage of cost; margin is profit as a percentage of the selling price. The same rand profit is always a bigger markup than margin. Margin = markup ÷ (100 + markup) × 100; markup = margin ÷ (100 − margin) × 100.

| 10% | 9.1% |
| 20% | 16.7% |
