Common mistake:

Meaning
amount added to cost price
Collocations
high markup
|low markup
|markup on [products]
|markup percentage
|retail markup
|apply a markup
Synonyms
margin (Often used loosely for the difference between cost and selling price; in strict finance, margin can include more factors than just the markup.)
|
price increase (More general; does not specifically mean the added amount above cost, just that the price goes up.)
Antonyms
markdown (A reduction in the selling price, the opposite direction of a markup.)
Themes
business
|economics
|trade
|finance
Definition
The extra money or percent added to the cost of something so a shop or business can make a profit.
