Mastering Key Business Metrics
The Critical Difference: Margin vs. Markup
**Markup** is the amount added to the cost price to determine the selling price, while **Margin** (specifically Gross Profit Margin) is the percentage of revenue that exceeds the cost of goods sold (COGS). Businesses should always focus on Margin, as it directly relates to profitability.
Formula: $\text{Gross Margin} = \frac{(\text{Revenue} - \text{COGS})}{\text{Revenue}} \times 100$. Knowing this margin is vital for sustaining operations and growth. [Image of a business profitability chart showing revenue, COGS, and margin]

Navigating Sales Tax, VAT, and Payroll
Tax calculations are complex and location-dependent. Sales Tax (common in the US) and Value Added Tax (VAT, common globally) must be calculated accurately to remain compliant. Similarly, payroll involves deductions for income tax, social security, and other contributions.
Automating these calculations is essential to avoid errors that can lead to fines, audits, or over/underpayment to employees. Our calculators provide the framework for these complex computations.
