Profit Margin Formula

Margin % = ((Selling Price - Cost) / Selling Price) × 100

Profit margin is the profit as a percentage of the selling price.

Selling Price Formula (from Target Margin)

Selling Price = Cost / (1 - Margin % / 100)

To achieve a target margin, divide the cost by (1 - margin percentage).

Markup Formula (for comparison)

Markup % = ((Selling Price - Cost) / Cost) × 100
