Pricing Strategy Tips

  • Understand your baseline: Always know your exact Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) including shipping, packaging, and raw materials before setting a price.
  • Use Margin for P&L: Use gross margin when forecasting your profit and loss statement, as it scales directly with revenue.
  • Use Markup for quick pricing: Markup is easier to calculate on the fly when you are purchasing inventory (e.g. "I'll double the cost to set the price").

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between margin and markup?
Margin is profit expressed as a percentage of revenue (sales price), while markup is profit expressed as a percentage of cost. For example, if you buy for $80 and sell for $100, your profit is $20. Your markup is 25% ($20/$80), but your margin is 20% ($20/$100).
How do you calculate selling price based on margin?
To calculate the selling price (revenue) for a desired gross margin, use the formula: Revenue = Cost / (1 - Margin Percentage). Do not just multiply cost by the margin percentage.
Why is gross profit margin important?
Gross margin tells you how much of your revenue is left over after paying for the direct costs of the product. It is a critical metric for pricing strategy, profitability, and business health.
What is a good profit margin?
A "good" profit margin varies heavily by industry. Retail typically sees 20-30%, restaurants around 60%, and software can be 80% or higher. It depends on your overhead and operating expenses.
