Decisions and troubleshooting.
Why are margin and markup different for the same product?
Margin divides profit by selling price; markup divides it by cost. Label the denominator so the percentage can be interpreted correctly.
Why is the calculated margin higher than the actual business result?
Review omitted fees, returns, shipping or other costs. The calculation can only reflect the cost basis supplied.
