Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between margin and markup?

Margin is gross profit as a percentage of sale price, while markup is gross profit as a percentage of cost.

Can this convert discounts too?

Yes. Use list price with discount percent to compute sale price, or reverse-calculate discount from list and sale price.

Does this include VAT or sales tax?

No. This tool models gross pricing only. Tax handling should be applied separately for your jurisdiction.

Can agents call this in structured mode?

Yes. The deterministic `margin_markup_discount` contract is registered in model context and exposed via JSON contract.

Is this tool free and private to use?

Yes. AI Biz Hub tools are free, no-signup browser tools. Inputs stay in your browser unless you choose to share a URL.

Can I use this with AI agents too?

Yes. Human mode is the default experience. If you use AI automation, open the optional 'For AI Agents' section for deterministic contracts.
