Margin vs. Markup Explained
Margin — Profit Margin measures what percentage of the selling price is profit. If you sell something for $10 and it costs $6, your margin is 40%.
Markup — Markup measures how much you've added to the cost. With the same example ($10 sale, $6 cost), your markup is 66.7%.
Both metrics are important for food businesses. Margin tells you how much of each dollar in sales is profit, while markup helps you set prices based on costs.
