What is markup definition, and what is the difference between margin vs. markup?
Markup illustrates how much higher a firm’s selling price is over the item costs the company. In general, the bigger the markup, the more income a corporation makes. Markup is the retail price for a product less its cost, but the margin percentage is computed differently.




Profit margin and markup are two accounting words that employ the same inputs and evaluate the same transaction. However, they display different information: profit margin and markup use income and costs as part of their computations. The fundamental distinction between the two is that profit margin refers to sales minus the cost of products sold while markup to the amount by which the cost of a good is raised to get to the final selling price.

More extensive explanations of the margin and markup ideas are as follows:

Margin (sometimes known as gross margin) is sales less the cost of goods sold. So, for example, if a product sells for $100 and costs $70 to create, its margin is $30. Or, given as a percentage, the margin percentage is 30 percent (calculated as the margin divided by sales) (calculated as the margin divided by sales).
Markup is the amount by which a product’s cost is increased to calculate the selling price. To apply the prior example, a markup of $30 off the $70 cost generates the $100 pricing. Or, given as a percentage, the markup percentage is 42.9 percent (calculated as the markup amount divided by the product cost) (calculated as the markup amount divided by the product cost).
