Your own result may differ because it uses the exact values you enter. For comparisons, keep the method and units consistent from one calculation to the next.
Important assumptions and limitations
Markup uses cost as the base. Profit margin uses selling price or revenue as the base, so the percentages differ.
Calculator outputs are estimates unless the underlying arithmetic is exact by definition. For decisions involving tax filing, lending, health, contracts or institutional grading rules, use the calculator as a first check and confirm the final decision with the relevant authoritative source.
