## What it means for a shop owner

It is simple and safe because it guarantees a margin above cost. But it ignores what customers will pay and what others charge. Use a margin calculator so you do not mix up margin and markup.

## A worked example

An item costs 8 and you add 25 percent, so the price is 10.
