How it is calculated
Markup % = (Selling price − Cost) ÷ Cost × 100
Equivalent margin % = Markup ÷ (100 + Markup) × 100.
Worked example
Cost ₹500 with 40% markup: selling price = 500 × 1.40 = ₹700, profit ₹200 per unit, which is a 28.57% margin on the selling price.

Frequently asked questions
Why is my margin lower than my markup?
Markup uses cost as the base while margin uses the (larger) selling price, so margin is always the smaller percentage for the same profit.
How much markup do I need for a 30% margin?
Markup = margin ÷ (100 − margin) = 30 ÷ 70 = 42.86%.
