Margin is different from markup

Margin measures profit as a percentage of selling price, while markup is based on cost.

Make pricing decisions in margin terms to compare across products.

Know your breakeven price

Breakeven is the price where total costs equal revenue.

Every discount you offer should be evaluated against breakeven.

Price for scale, not just survival

Low margins make growth fragile. Build a buffer for returns, ads, and supplier changes.

Stable margin lets you reinvest and scale safely.
