A 40% profit margin means you keep $40 for every $100 in sales. Above 20% is considered healthy in most industries.

How to calculate markup and margin

Markup and margin both describe profit, but measured against different bases.

• Profit = selling price − cost.
• Markup % = profit ÷ cost × 100.
• Profit margin % = profit ÷ selling price × 100.

Markup is always the larger number because it is measured against the lower cost figure.
