In plain words: you pay ₹100.00 and keep ₹127.12. You've added 27.1% on top of your cost: that's markup. 21.3% of what you keep is profit: that's margin. GST is left out of both, because it isn't yours.

Markup and margin, plainly.
Markup is what you add on top of your cost. Buy at ₹100, add ₹25: a 25% markup. Suppliers and wholesalers often talk in markup.
Margin is how much of the selling price is profit. Of ₹125, ₹25 is yours: a 20% margin. Your books and your bank see margin, so price for it.
GST rates are the slabs in force from 22 September 2025 (0%, 5%, 18% and 40%, with 0.25% and 3% for a few goods). The composition rate here is 1% of turnover for traders; manufacturers also pay 1% and restaurants 5%. Rates change, so check your item's HSN code at cbic-gst.gov.in. The tool assumes the same GST rate on your purchase and your sale.

What is the difference between margin and markup?
Markup is profit as a share of your cost. Margin is profit as a share of your selling price. Buy at ₹100 and sell at ₹125: the ₹25 profit is a 25% markup but a 20% margin. The same profit always gives a smaller margin than markup.
