Here’s one
A $60 price on a $40 cost
Sell at $60, cost was $40, so you keep $20. That’s about a third of the price. Want a 40% margin on a $60 cost instead? You’d need to charge $100.
How it works
Profit is price minus cost. Margin is that profit as a share of the price. If you already know the margin you want, we work backwards from the cost to a price that lands there.
Good for
A retail report, a quote, or a boss who says “we need 40% margin on this.”
