Margin % = (Profit ÷ Selling Price) × 100. Markup % = (Profit ÷ Cost Price) × 100. Kirana margins vary: groceries 5–10%, packaged foods 10–20%, household items 15–30%.

Use this to check if your prices give enough profit. Too low margin = loss on some items. Too high = customers may go elsewhere.

Formula
