Understanding Profit vs. Markup

Profit Percentage

Profit % = (Profit / Cost Price) × 100%

Profit percentage is calculated relative to the cost price. It tells you how much profit you've made compared to what you paid for the item.

Example: If you buy an item for $100 and sell it for $150, your profit is $50, and your profit percentage is 50%.

Profit Margin

Profit Margin = (Profit / Selling Price) × 100%

Profit margin is calculated relative to the selling price. It tells you what percentage of your revenue is profit.

Example: If you sell an item for $150 that cost you $100, your profit is $50, and your profit margin is 33.33%.
