Heads up: a 50% markup is only a 33% gross margin. If a supplier or competitor talks in "margin" and you're thinking "markup", you'll undercharge by a lot.
How to calculate markup
Multiply your cost by (1 + markup ÷ 100) to get the selling price. Subtract cost from price to get profit. Divide profit by cost to confirm the markup percentage.
