Convert percentage margin into percentage markup without knowing the revenue.

136 Views Asked by At

So client has asked me to add an option to their website where they can apply margin markup instead of regular markup.

But all the formulas that I seem to be reading seem to know the revenue value in order to calculate the margin.

But I don't know the revenue.

https://www.omnicalculator.com/finance/margin#how-to-calculate-profit-margin

This calculator in the link above does not know the revenue, and simply calculates the revenue.

For example £1
Margin: 30%
Revenue: £1.43


So I need to know the formula that makes this 43% regular markup.

To arrive at a 10% margin, the markup percentage is 11.1%

To arrive at a 20% margin, the markup percentage is 25.0%

To arrive at a 30% margin, the markup percentage is 42.9%

To arrive at a 40% margin, the markup percentage is 80.0%

To arrive at a 50% margin, the markup percentage is 100.0%


Can this be made into a formula somehow?

$$ \frac{1}{1- p_{\text{margin}}} = 1 + p_{\text{markup}} $$ where $p_{\text{margin}}$ is the margin divided by $100~\%$; and $p_{\text{markup}}$ is the markup divided by $100~\%$.
