Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good profit margin?

A "good" profit margin varies wildly by industry. For restaurants, a 10% net profit margin is considered excellent. For software-as-a-service (SaaS) businesses, gross margins often exceed 70% to 80%.

Why is markup always higher than margin?

Markup is calculated as a percentage of your cost, which is a smaller number. Margin is calculated as a percentage of your revenue, which is a larger number. Therefore, a 50% markup on cost only yields a 33.3% gross margin on revenue.
