Frequently asked questions

Do discounts stack linearly?

No — two 20%-off coupons give 36% off, not 40%. Each discount applies to the already-reduced price.

Is markup the same as margin? Trust & accuracy

No. Markup divides profit by cost; margin divides profit by price. Same profit, different denominator — so margin is always smaller.
