Questions
Before you download
What is the difference between margin and markup?add
Margin is profit as a share of selling price. Markup is profit as a share of cost. The workbook shows both so they are not used interchangeably.
Do I need Microsoft Excel?add
The file is a standard .xlsx workbook. It works best in current Excel and can also be imported into Google Sheets, though some formatting may look slightly different.
Is the spreadsheet really free?add
Yes. The workbook is complete and usable. Your email delivers the file and lets Batch Scale send practical maker-business guidance when you consent.
Can I change the formulas?add
Input cells are clearly marked and formula cells are separated visually. You can make a copy and adapt it, but keep an untouched original so you can recover the built-in calculations.
