What is the difference between markup and margin?

Markup is based on cost: (Price − Cost) ÷ Cost × 100. Margin is based on price: (Price − Cost) ÷ Price × 100. A 50% markup equals a 33.3% margin.

How do I calculate selling price from cost and markup?

Selling Price = Cost × (1 + Markup% ÷ 100). A $20 item with 50% markup sells for $20 × 1.50 = $30.

Varies widely: grocery 25-50%, clothing 100-300%, electronics 5-20%, restaurants 200-400%.
