Understanding VAT

VAT (Value Added Tax) is a consumption tax added to products and services. Different countries and regions have different standard VAT rates. Common rates include 20% (UK), 21% (Netherlands), 23% (Ireland), and 25% (Sweden, Denmark, Norway).

Understanding Profit Margin vs Markup

Profit Margin expresses profit as a percentage of the selling price, showing how much of each sale is profit. Markup expresses profit as a percentage of the cost, showing how much you're adding to the cost price. Both are essential metrics for pricing and profitability analysis.
