Pricing & metrics

Markup vs margin

Two ways to express profit on a sale: markup is profit over cost; margin is profit over selling price.

Markup and margin describe the same profit from different bases. Markup = (price - cost) / cost; margin = (price - cost) / price. A 50% markup is only a 33% margin -- confusing them is a classic way to underprice and lose money on every sale.

Skuwell's pricing rules let you set prices by target margin or markup and keep them consistent across channels. Our markup-vs-margin calculator converts between the two so you price on purpose.
