Margin vs markup difference?+
Markup = profit as % of cost. Margin = profit as % of selling price. Markup of 50% on ₹100 cost = ₹150 selling = 33% margin. Different things!
How to calculate margin?+
Margin = (Selling Price - Cost) / Selling Price × 100. ₹100 cost, ₹150 selling = 33% margin. Always lower than markup % for same prices.
Healthy profit margin?+

Discount impact on margin?+
10% discount on 30% margin = need 50% more sales just to break even! Calculate carefully. Sometimes small discount kills profitability.
