Default Margin Formula

I have Cost (column A) and Selling Price (column B). I need a formula to
determine margin. Can anyone help?

Default Margin Formula

Well. isn't it just the difference between what you sell it for and
what it cost you?

Try this in C2:

= B2 - A2

Copy this down as far as you need to.

Hope this helps.

You probably want % margin, which is:

=(b1-a1)/b1
