A big mistake that some business owners make is they price purely off a dollar markup they want. However, the important thing is knowing your margin % and how much you make on each product or service. After all, your profit and loss statement is based off percent of sales, so should your profit. Let's take a deeper dive into how you might be confusing markup and margin and costing yourself profits!
