What is Profit Marge?

Profit Marge is the percentage of the Prix de Vente that remains as profit after all costs are accounted for. It measures how much of each pound of sales is profit.

Formula:

Margin = (Prix de Vente - Cost) / Prix de Vente × 100

Example:

If you sell a product for €100 that costs €60, your profit is €40. Your Marge is (40/100) × 100 = 40%

What is Majoration?

Majoration is the percentage increase applied to the Prix de Revient to determine the Prix de Vente. It measures profit as a percentage of the cost, not the Prix de Vente.

Formula:

Markup = (Prix de Vente - Cost) / Cost × 100

Example:

If you buy for €60 and sell for €100, your Majoration is (40/60) × 100 = 66.67%

Margin vs Majoration: What's the Difference?

The key difference is the base used in the calculation. Marge uses Prix de Vente as the denominator, while Majoration uses cost. This means the same profit can have different percentages.

Aspect Margin Markup
Definition Profit as % of selling price Profit as % of cost
Formule (SP - CP) / SP × 100 (SP - CP) / CP × 100
Example (CP €60, SP €100) (40/100) × 100 = 40% (40/60) × 100 = 66.67%
Max Value Always less than 100% Can be any value
