Tips for better results

  • Margin and markup are different: a 50% markup is only a 33.3% margin.
  • Include every variable cost (fees, shipping, payment processing) when pricing.
  • Re-run break-even numbers whenever fixed costs such as rent or salaries change.

⚠️ Business results are estimates for planning. Consult an accountant for tax and reporting decisions.
