Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Margin and Markup?
Margin is the profit expressed as a percentage of revenue (selling price). Markup is the profit expressed as a percentage of the cost.
What is a good profit margin?
A 'good' margin varies heavily by industry. Generally, a 10% net profit margin is considered average, 20% is good, and 5% is low, though gross margins are typically much higher.
How do you calculate gross profit?
Gross profit is simply calculated by subtracting the cost of goods sold from the total revenue (Revenue - Cost).
