The margin endpoint solves the relationships between cost, selling price, gross margin (% of price), markup (% of cost) and profit — give it any two of them and it works out the rest, so you can price from a target margin, find the margin of an existing price, or convert markup to margin. The breakeven endpoint computes how many units (and how much revenue) you must sell to cover your fixed costs, given a unit price and variable cost, along with the contribution margin. Pure local maths, no key."
