    1. To enable the slider, click on the toggle so it moves to the right and turns green.
    2. To disable the slider, click on the toggle so it moves to the left and turns grey.

👍 PRO TIP

  • Margin = Profit as a percentage of overall revenue
    Example: 35% of our revenues were profit.
  • Markup = Percentage profit increase over the cost of goods/services sold
    Example: We added 35% to our total costs to give us our profit.
