Frequently asked questions about Profit Margin & Markup Calculator

What is the key difference between profit margin and markup?

While both metrics describe profitability, profit margin is the percentage of the selling price that is profit, whereas markup is the percentage added to the product cost to reach the selling price. For example, if an item costs $100 and sells for $125, the profit is $25; the markup is 25% ($25/$100), but the gross margin is 20% ($25/$125).

How do payment gateway fees affect my net profit margin?

Payment processors typically deduct a variable fee (such as 2.9%) plus a fixed fee (such as $0.30) from every transaction. On lower ticket items, the fixed fee can significantly erode your gross margin. Our advanced fee calculator factors these transaction costs into your net margin automatically.

Are any of my financial figures or pricing data sent to a server?

No. All profit margin and cost calculations run 100% locally in your client web browser using JavaScript. No business data or product numbers are ever transmitted, tracked, or saved on any remote server.
