Important assumptions and limitations
Margin uses revenue as the base. It is different from markup, which uses cost as the base.
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.
