Understand What Markups Are:

Markups can be used to apply a percentage or flat number to the bottom of a table, quickly calculating additional costs or discounts.

Step 1: Add a Markup:

To add a markup, right-click any cell and select "markup" from the context menu. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut CMD+M.

Step 2: Choose Markup Type:

Saturation offers two types of markups: percent and flat. Percent markups add or subtract a specified percentage from the total of the table. Flat markups do the same with a specific number.

Step 3: Customize Your Markup:

When choosing a percent markup, you can further customize your markup by selecting specific accounts to include or exclude from the calculation. Click on the pencil icon on the right in action column to select accounts.

Step 4: Understand Markup Placement:

Markups can be placed on any table in your budget. Depending on their placement, they will markup that table and contribute to the overall budget. If necessary, you can apply multiple markups to an account.
