How to read this result

Three useful checks, kept deliberately short.

What this result includes

Markup is 42.86% while margin is 30%.

A practical example

An item costs RM70 and sells for RM100: Profit = RM30 Β· Markup = RM30 Γ· RM70 Β· Margin = RM30 Γ· RM100.

Common input mistake

Markup uses cost as its denominator. Margin uses selling price, so the two percentages are not interchangeable.

Formula and assumptions
