The difference between a bookseller's selling price for a book and his purchase price. The amount of money by which a retailer marks up his purchase price of a product to fix the price at which he will resell it. This difference is usually expressed as a percentage of his purchase price. For example, if he pays $18.00 for a book and retails it at $ 30.00, his markup is 66.6% ($12.00 ÷ $18.00).

An item costing $1 is priced at $2; the markon of $1 is 100% of the cost. If you consistently use the same term, and if need be, follow it with an example, you should cause little confusion.

So, an item that costs $50, and is sold for $100, has a 100% markup; however, its gross profit margin is 50% (or a "50% gross," as in "they grossed 50% on that"). Note that some industries or countries are more inclined to refer to markup than gross profit margin, thus the source of confusion.

Markup is a set of coded commands called tags, describing logic and style for authors, and formatting and layout for printers, that editors inscribed, once upon a time, long ago and far away, in red ink with a stylus upon a sheet of papyrus that formed part of what was then called a manuscript (MS; plural MSS), and gave the MS which they had marked up (whence the term markup) to authors for revision, then to printers who printed them and gave the printout to proofreaders who marked up the printout with tags in red ink that indicated how the printers were to correct the errors that appeared in the printout; and that websters now insert into documents that they write in a markup language to create hypertext with hyperLinks so that when Web browsers see the HTML tags, non-Microsoft browsers will know how to lay out and format the document for the inspection of human readers, and Microsoft's browers will know how to mess it up. | HTML-Curriculum | More Links | | | Links
