What is the difference between margin and markup?

Margin is profit divided by the selling price, while markup is profit divided by the cost. A cost of 60 sold for 100 gives a 40% margin but a 66.67% markup.

How is profit margin calculated?

Profit margin = (selling price − cost) ÷ selling price × 100. For a cost of 60 and price of 100, the margin is (100 − 60) ÷ 100 = 40%.
