Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between margin and markup?

Margin is profit as a percentage of the selling price; markup is profit as a percentage of the cost. Markup numbers are always higher for the same deal.

Can I use this for services instead of products?

Yes - treat your cost as the time and materials cost and the selling price as what you charge.
