How is it calculated?
Margin is profit as a share of the selling price; markup is profit as a share of cost. Sell a job that costs 100 for 150 and your markup is 50%, but your margin is 33.3%.
Price from a target margin: price = cost ÷ (1 − margin). If you want a 40% margin, don't add 40% to cost; divide cost by 0.60.
A discount comes out of profit, not cost. On a job with a 40% margin, a 10% discount takes a quarter of the profit, and a 20% discount takes half.
Teklif Atölyesi shows margin before and after discount side by side on every quote, and discounts above the limit you set go to a manager for approval.
