Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between margin and markup?
Markup is profit as a percentage of cost, while margin is profit as a percentage of selling price. A 25% markup on 100 rupees cost gives a 125 rupee price, which is only a 20% margin.
How do I set a selling price for a target margin?
Divide the cost by (1 minus the margin). For a 20% margin on a 4,000 rupee cost, the selling price is 4000 divided by 0.8, which is 5,000 rupees before GST.
Why is a healthy margin important for a computer shop?
Hardware prices move fast and warranty support has a cost. A sensible margin covers overheads, service, returns and price fluctuations so the shop stays profitable rather than just breaking even.
