Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between margin and markup?
Margin is calculated on the selling price (profit/selling price times 100). Markup is calculated on the cost price (profit/cost price times 100). A 50% markup equals a 33.3% margin.
What is a healthy profit margin?
This varies greatly by industry. Retail typically has 2-5% net margin, services 10-20%, software/tech 15-40%. More important than the absolute number is how it compares to industry benchmarks.
What is the Margin Calculator?
The margin calculator computes the trade margin, profit margin and mark-up from purchase and sale prices or vice versa.
How does the Margin Calculator work?
Enter the purchase price and sale price. The calculator determines the margin (profit / sale price * 100) and the mark-up (profit / purchase price * 100). Alternatively it computes the sale price for a desired margin.
Key Data and Facts
Margin = (sale price - purchase price) / sale price. Mark-up = (sale price - purchase price) / purchase price. Margin and mark-up are not the same.
Step-by-Step Guide
How to calculate Marge und Aufschlag step by step: 1. Einkaufspreis (net) enter: Der Preis, zu dem Sie die Ware einkaufen. 2. Verkaufspreis (net) enter: Der Preis, zu dem Sie die Ware verkaufen. 3. Gewinnspanne calculate: Gewinn = Verkaufspreis - Einkaufspreis. 4. Gewinnmarge calculate: Marge = Gewinn / Verkaufspreis x 100. Die Marge zeigt den Gewinnanteil am Verkaufspreis. 5. Aufschlag calculate: Aufschlag = Gewinn / Einkaufspreis x 100. Der Aufschlag zeigt, wie viel Prozent auf den Einkaufspreis aufgeschlagen werden. 6. Umgekehrte Berechnung: Bei gewuenschter Marge den Verkaufspreis determine: VP = EK / (1 - Marge/100). Beispiel: Einkaufspreis 40 EUR, Verkaufspreis 65 EUR. Gewinn: 25 EUR. Marge: 25 / 65 x 100 = 38,5 %. Aufschlag: 25 / 40 x 100 = 62,5 %. Achtung: 38,5 % Marge ist nicht gleich 38,5 % Aufschlag. Bei gewuenschter Marge von 50 %: VP = 40 / (1 - 0,5) = 80 EUR (Aufschlag waere 100 %).
Calculation Example
Einkauf 40 EUR, Verkauf 65 EUR. Gewinn: 25 EUR. Marge: 38,5 %. Aufschlag: 62,5 %. Bei gewuenschter Marge 50 %: Verkaufspreis = 80 EUR (= 100 % Aufschlag).
