Base × 0.18. An item priced at Rs. 10,000 attracts Rs. 1,800 VAT, totaling Rs. 11,800. - Percentage Change: Formula:
((New - Old) / |Old|) × 100%. A positive result indicates price inflation or wage growth; a negative result indicates a markdown. - Markup vs Profit Margin: Markup is profit divided by cost, whereas Margin is profit divided by selling price. A 50% markup equals a 33.33% gross profit margin.
