Mathematical Formulations
Profit metrics are computed using the following ratios:
Gross Profit Margin = [ ( Selling Price - Cost Price ) / Selling Price ] × 100
Markup Percentage = [ ( Selling Price - Cost Price ) / Cost Price ] × 100
If you know your **Cost (C)** and desire a specific **Gross Margin (M)**, the **Selling Price (S)** is calculated as:
S = C / ( 1 - M / 100 )

Frequently Asked Questions
Margin is calculated relative to the final, higher Selling Price, whereas markup is calculated relative to the lower Cost Price. Because the divisor of margin is larger, the resulting margin percentage is always smaller than the markup percentage.
No. A 100% margin means cost is zero (pure profit). Since selling prices cannot be infinity, gross profit margins can never structurally exceed 100%. Markup, however, can be infinity (e.g. 500%, 1000% markup).
