Engineering Insight
Markup is measured on cost while margin is measured on the selling price. A 25% markup therefore yields a 20% margin, not 25% — confusing the two is a common cause of profit erosion in contracting.
Recommended Action
Set a clear internal pricing policy stating explicitly which measure is used, and review the resulting margin before submitting the offer.
