What Is Discount & Profit Margin?
Whether you are a consumer trying to figure out a sale price or a business owner setting retail prices, this tool simplifies commercial math by calculating discounts, profit margins, and markups.
Margin vs. Markup: What's the Difference?
These two terms are often confused, but they represent different calculations:
- Markup: The percentage added to your cost to determine the final selling price. (e.g., A $50 item with a 50% markup sells for $75).
- Profit Margin: The percentage of the selling price that is actual profit. (e.g., If you sell an item for $100 and it cost you $70, your profit is $30, meaning you have a 30% margin).
Calculate Discounts Instantly
For shoppers, the discount mode helps you determine exactly how much you will pay during a sale. Simply enter the original price and the discount percentage to reveal your final cost and total savings.
