Margin versus Markup Equations

Gross Profit = Revenue - Cost. Margin % = (Gross Profit / Revenue) * 100. Markup % = (Gross Profit / Cost) * 100. Revenue = Cost / (1 - Margin/100).
Example calculations and outputs
Cost = $100, Revenue = $150. Gross Profit = $50. Margin = 33.33% ($50/$150). Markup = 50% ($50/$100).
