?FAQs
What markup should I use?
Markup varies by industry: Retail 50-100%, Food & Beverage 200-300%, Wholesale 10-20%. Research your industry benchmarks.

No. Markup is based on cost (Profit ÷ Cost). Margin is based on selling price (Profit ÷ Revenue). Markup is always higher.

Selling Price = Cost × (1 + Markup%). For example, if cost is ₹100 and markup is 25%, selling price = ₹100 × 1.25 = ₹125.
