Kar Marjı ve Kâr Oranını Anlama
Profit margin and markup are two different ways to measure profit. Margin is a percentage of revenue, while markup is a percentage of cost. Understanding both helps you make better pricing decisions for your retail business.
For example, if an item costs $10 and you sell it for $15, your markup is 50% (increase from cost), but your profit margin is only 33% (profit as % of revenue). Higher margins are healthier for your business.
Formüller:
- Profit Margin % = (Profit ÷ Selling Price) × 100
- Markup % = (Profit ÷ Cost) × 100
- Gross Profit = Selling Price - Cost

A healthy profit margin depends heavily on your industry. Retailers typically aim for a 50% gross margin (a 100% markup), also known as keystone pricing.
