Gross margin does not include fixed overhead, taxes or customer acquisition.

How it works

Gross margin = (price − cost) ÷ price. Markup = (price − cost) ÷ cost. Target price = cost ÷ (1 − target margin).

Common questions

Are markup and margin the same?

No. Markup compares profit with cost; margin compares it with selling price.

Can target margin be 100%?

A 100% margin cannot be reached with a positive direct cost.
