Markup is a crucial component in pricing strategies, allowing you to set the right selling price to cover costs and earn a profit. It is calculated as the percentage difference between the cost of the product or service and its selling price.
Understanding your markup is pivotal for maintaining healthy profit margins(also see our profit margin calculator) and ensuring the sustainability and growth of your business.
