How do I calculate markup percentage?

Markup % = ((Selling Price - Cost) / Cost) × 100. For an item costing $50 sold for $75: ((75 - 50) / 50) × 100 = 50% markup.

What is the difference between markup and profit margin?

Markup is based on cost: (Profit / Cost) × 100. Profit margin is based on selling price: (Profit / Selling Price) × 100. A 50% markup equals a 33.33% profit margin. Same profit, different calculation base.

What is a typical retail markup?

Retail markup varies by industry. Grocery stores: 10-15%, clothing: 100-200%, jewelry: 200-300%, restaurants: 200-400%. Higher markup doesn't always mean higher profit due to overhead costs and sales volume.

How do I calculate selling price from markup?

Selling Price = Cost × (1 + Markup%). For a $50 item with 50% markup: $50 × 1.50 = $75 selling price.
