Margin
Usually it refers to the difference between the cost of an asset and what you can sell it for.
For instance if you can buy an item for £10 each and sell for £15, then you have a margin on that item of a very healthy £5, or 50%.
Margin can also refer to the proportion of an asset pledged as security, or in terms such as net interest mortgage and a premium added on a mortgage.
