Margin is profit as a percentage of price; markup is profit as a percentage of cost — they're always different numbers for the same sale, which is a common source of confusion.
What is this tool?
Margin and markup are both a way of expressing profit as a percentage, but relative to different bases — margin is profit as a percentage of price, markup is profit as a percentage of cost, so they're always different numbers for the same sale. This two-way solver takes any 2 of cost, price, margin %, or markup %, and computes the rest, showing all 4 values plus the profit amount so the relationship is visible at a glance.
