Yes it is costing related. you have a product that costs you 1.00 and you sell it for 2.00 your margin is 1.00 or 100%.what you actually make though is that 1.00 margin less whatever cost has been incurred.This brings you back to a net figure known as your GMROI IE G ross Margin Return On Investment or in common terms "the bottom line"

Margin is basically the difference between what an item costs you and the revenue you get back from it.
For example, if I sell a box of cookies for $5 and my cost was $3, the margin was $2 or 40% (cost divided by sell minus 1 to get the percent).
Hope this helps!

A company's margin is the difference between the cost of their products or services and the sales price. This is the "profit margin".

Margin is equal to Selling Price minus Cost of that particular product or service.

Margin refers to "profit margin".
It "is" the difference of the selling price and the cost of goods.
The best mathematical formula in order to calculate the margin, by a percentage, below.
Once a "percent" of gross profit is determined, and we'll use a norm in many businesses of 40%.
If 40%=Profit Margin, then it follows that 60%=Cost.
This is the compliment of 100, which is the "Total Price", or the selling price.
So, we can divide the "Cost" by 60%, (.60) to arrive at the "Selling Price".
If the cost of goods, including freight, = $25.00, then divide $25.00 by .60 = $41.67. In business, this may be rounded to $41.99.
To prove the % of profit to be 40%, subtract the cost, (25.00), from the selling price,
(41.67)=$16.67.
Divide the margin, $16.67 by the selling price, 41.67=.40 or 40%.
If one saw a selling price on goods of $41.67, and knew that the margin, markup, was 40%, then one can determine the cost.
Again, by taking the compliment of 40% to 100%,= 60 %, then multiply the selling price by 60%.
At 41.67 X 60%= $25.00.
Now if the item was rounded up to 41.99, the calculation would be off somewhat.

margin actually means ur profit after u have made sellings equal to cost price of any product. once u have achieved that cut-off point, any extra sellings made by u would add up to ur MARGIN.
