How it is calculated
Cost = RRP × (1 − supplier discount). This is what you pay the supplier.
Client price = cost × (1 + markup). Profit per unit = client price − cost.
Markup is measured on cost; margin is the same profit measured on the client price: margin = profit ÷ client price. A 25% markup is a 20% margin.
If the client price equals RRP, the whole supplier discount becomes your profit; if you sell below RRP, you share part of the discount with the client.
