What is the difference between profit margin and markup?

Margin is profit as a percentage of revenue: (Revenue − Cost) / Revenue. Markup is profit as a percentage of cost: (Revenue − Cost) / Cost. A 50% markup produces a 33% margin, not 50%. They measure the same profit from different bases.

What is a good profit margin?

It varies widely by industry. Software/SaaS: 70–90%+ gross margin. Retail: 20–50%. Restaurants: 3–9% net margin. Consulting and services: 15–40% net. Compare against industry benchmarks rather than a universal standard.

How do I calculate a 30% margin on a product?

If cost is $70 and you want a 30% margin: Selling Price = Cost / (1 − Margin) = $70 / 0.70 = $100. The margin is 30% of the $100 revenue ($30 profit). Don't add 30% to the cost ($70 × 1.30 = $91) — that gives 23% margin, not 30%.
