La Différence

Coefficient multiplicateur = (Prix - Coût) ÷ Coût × 100. Marge = (Prix - Coût) ÷ Prix × 100. Produit de 60 € vendu 100 € : coeff = 66,7%, marge = 40%. Toujours différents. Les confondre détruit la rentabilité — quand quelqu'un dit « 50% de marge », demandez TOUJOURS lequel.

Quand Utiliser

Coefficient multiplicateur : pour fixer les prix à partir du coût. Marge : pour analyser la rentabilité à partir des ventes. Les comptables parlent en marges. Les acheteurs et gérants parlent en coefficients.

⚡ CalcWolf Insight

A 1% price increase on a business with 10% net margins increases profit by 10% — without selling a single additional unit. Pricing is the most powerful profit lever available to any business. Most small businesses underprice because they calculate markup instead of margin, or because they fear losing customers over small price increases.
