Show me the way to calculate % margin of a product.

The margin on a product is always calculated
On the SALE PRICE.

Say the sale price is $100.00
If you need to make a $40.00 margin.
This is 40%.

Do not confuse margin with mark up.
Mark up is always calculated on the COST PRICE.

There is a definite mathematical relationship
Between cost price and selling price .

If I sold a product for $7.50 and it cost me $6.46 what is my % margin?

1) sale = 7.50
2) cost = 6.46
3) margin = 1.04
4) margin % = (1.04)/(7.50) * 100 = 13.86%

To calculate margin you have to use formula:

cost/ 100 - (xx% of margin) x 100= price
For example:

Purchase price =100
margin you want to add = 30%

So 100 / 70 x 100 = 142.85


142.83 is your final price

then you will not get mixed up with giving a discount! Many people get that wrong!
Try to just add 30% to 100 you will get 130 and then take away 30% from 130 hoe much will you get? 91!!
try the same with 142.83 and you will get 99.981
Easy !

Whether this is a product or a service you must total all your costs. Subtract that from your selling price = margin (profit).
