Markup vs. Margin — What's the Difference?

Markup: % added to your costs. 20% markup on £1000 = £1200 final price.
Profit Margin: % of the final price. 20% margin means profit is 20% of sale price.
20% markup ≠ 20% margin! A 20% markup = 16.7% margin.
Most builders think in markup, but margin is more accurate for profit tracking.

"Aim for 20-30% gross margin minimum on jobs. Anything less and you're working for wages, not running a business. Factor in your time for quoting, admin, and warranty callbacks."
