Markup vs. Margin: What’s the Difference? Explained using Excel

[@gregorytaylor2749]

Chris, I use a simple formula to price at desired gross margin. For example, if I want to make 20%GM the formula is Cost / ( 1 - .20 ) . Conversely Markup formula is simply Cost * 1.25.

Very good! I see the logic. Thanks, Gregory.

Conversely is the wrong word to use.
