What is the difference between profit margin and markup?

Margin is calculated on the selling price; markup is calculated on the cost. A 50% markup means you added 50% of cost to get the price - but the margin is only 33% (since profit/price = 50/150). This distinction is critical for pricing decisions. If a retailer targets a 40% margin, the markup needs to be 66.7%: Price = Cost ÷ (1-0.40).

CAGR Formula

CAGR = (End Value / Start Value)^(1/Years) − 1
Example: ₹1L grew to ₹2.59L in 10 years
CAGR = (2,59,374 / 1,00,000)^(1/10) − 1
= 2.59374^0.1 − 1 = 0.10 = 10% p.a.

Find End Value:
End = Start × (1 + CAGR%)^Years

Find Start Value:
Start = End / (1 + CAGR%)^Years
