Margin vs. Markup: Understanding the Critical Difference
One of the most common mistakes in business is confusing margin with markup. While Markup is the percentage added to the cost to determine the selling price, Profit Margin is the percentage of the selling price that is profit. According to financial standards from Investopedia, maintaining a healthy margin is the most reliable indicator of a company’s financial health and operational efficiency.
