Frequently asked questions

Divide cost by one minus the margin as a decimal. A 600 cost at a 40% margin needs a 1,000 price.

Margin is a share of the selling price, not the cost, so dividing gives the price where profit is that share of the total.

Margin is profit over price; markup is profit over cost. The same money is a smaller percentage as margin than as markup.

For markup, multiply the cost by one plus the markup rate, rather than dividing by one minus the margin.
