Margin and markup are different numbers on the same profit: a 50% markup is only a 33% margin. Quoting the wrong one is the most common pricing mistake in trading and manufacturing.

What is the difference between margin and markup?+
Markup is profit as a percentage of cost; margin is profit as a percentage of the selling price. A 50% markup equals a 33.3% margin — quoting one when you mean the other silently misprices your catalogue.
Should GST be part of my margin?+
No. GST you charge is collected for the government, not earned — compute margin on the pre-GST selling price, then add GST to reach the invoice price.
What margin should an MSME target?+
It varies by industry: trading commonly runs 8–20% net, manufacturing 10–25% gross after job-work costs, D2C brands need 60%+ gross to survive marketing costs. Your P&L, not a rule of thumb, should decide — that is MIS work we do monthly for clients.
Does this handle inclusive pricing?+
Enter your pre-GST selling price; the tool shows the GST-inclusive invoice price. If you only know the inclusive price, divide it by 1 + rate (e.g. ÷1.18 at 18%) to get the base first.
