📘 How This Works

  • Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price
  • Profit Margin (%) = (Profit ÷ Selling Price) × 100
  • Markup (%) = (Profit ÷ Cost Price) × 100
  • Required Selling Price = Cost Price ÷ (1 - Desired Margin ÷ 100)

💡 Tip: Use markup to price items, but always track your profit margin to understand your business health!
