Hi been a while since i have posted and been active hope everyone is doing ok.

i am frustrating myself with something that seems straight forward. My boss works on margin not percentage profit

i need to work with multiple options

1. I know the cost price and the margin i need ...... how do i calculte the sale price including the margin (not simply adding a percentage)

2. I know the sale price and the cost price ..... how do i calculate the margin

3. I know the sale price and the margin ... how do i calculate the cost price

we have margin calculators that have cost / sell / margin options. i simply cannot work out the maths to write a formula in excell

example

£1.00 ADD 30 percent margin = £1.43

£1.43 minus 30 percent marging = £0.99

£1.43 sale price £1.00 cost price = 30 percent margin

hope i make sense and thanks for looking

This article has all you need. We work off Margin also and I need to refer to it every so often.
