# Discount, markup and margin calculator

> Sale price after one or more percent-off discounts, and selling price from cost using a markup or a profit margin, with each converted to the other.

분야: 일상 계산기

Each discount multiplies the running price by (1 − d/100), so stacked discounts compound rather than add. For pricing, markup is profit as a percentage of cost and margin is profit as a percentage of the selling price. The calculator finds the selling price from either one and converts between them with margin = markup ÷ (1 + markup).

With the defaults, 20% off 250 followed by a further 10% off leaves 180: an effective discount of 28%, not 30%. In the pricing modes, an item that costs 80 and is marked up 25% sells for 100, which is a 20% margin.

A margin must stay below 100%, since a 100% margin would mean the item cost nothing, while a markup has no upper limit. All figures are per item, before any sales tax or VAT.

## 자주 묻는 질문

### How do you calculate a percentage discount?

Multiply the price by (1 − discount ÷ 100). 20% off 250 is 250 × 0.8 = 200, a saving of 50. To find the discount from two prices, divide the saving by the original price: an item cut from 250 to 180 is 70 ÷ 250 = 28% off.

### Is 20% off plus an extra 10% off the same as 30% off?

No. The second discount applies to the already reduced price, so 20% then 10% off is 1 − 0.8 × 0.9 = 28% off in total. Two 50% discounts leave a quarter of the price, which is 75% off rather than 100%. The order does not matter: 10% then 20% also gives 28%.

### What is the difference between markup and margin?

Markup is profit divided by cost; margin is profit divided by the selling price. An item that costs 70 and sells for 100 makes 30 profit: a 42.9% markup and a 30% margin, the pairing AccountingTools uses in its explanation. Margin is always the smaller of the two, and a markup m converts to a margin of m ÷ (1 + m).

### What markup gives a 50% margin?

A 100% markup: doubling the cost makes the profit equal to the cost, which is half the selling price. In general markup = margin ÷ (1 − margin), so a 20% margin needs a 25% markup, a 40% margin needs 66.67%, and a 60% margin needs 150%.

### How do you find the selling price from cost and margin?

Divide the cost by (1 − margin). A cost of 60 at a 40% margin sells for 60 ÷ 0.6 = 100. Adding 40% to the cost instead gives 84, which is only a 28.57% margin; confusing the two percentages underprices every item.

### “Discount, markup and margin calculator”의 정확도는 어느 정도인가요?

정확도는 입력값과 계산 방법의 가정에 따라 달라집니다. 십진 연산은 유효숫자 50자리를 사용하지만, 추정값·수치해석 방법·원본 데이터의 정밀도는 더 낮을 수 있습니다. 표시값을 반올림해도 이러한 한계는 사라지지 않습니다. 독립적인 출처의 풀이와 대조한 계산 예시: 7. 예를 들어 “250 with 20% then 10% off”은 Python decimal: 250 × 0.8 × 0.9 = 180; 1 − 0.72 = 28%와 대조해 확인합니다.
