About the Profit Margin Calculator
Revenue flatters, but margin is the truth — it tells you how much of every sale you actually keep. Confusing margin with markup, or ignoring it altogether, is how businesses end up busy but not profitable.
This Profit Margin Calculator works out your gross margin, markup and profit from cost and price, so you can price products properly and know exactly what you are making on each sale.

How the Profit Margin Calculator works
This calculator uses the established mathematical formulas that banks, lenders and financial institutions rely on — for interest, amortization, EMI, compounding, tax and investment growth. Where local rules apply (such as tax bands or GST/VAT rates), the tool follows the relevant published structure, and figures can be expressed in the currency you work in.
Every calculation runs in your browser, so the financial figures you enter stay completely private.
Tips & best practices
- Margin and markup are not the same — a 50% markup on cost is only a 33% margin on price, so be clear which you are quoting.
- Include every cost, not just the purchase price, so your margin reflects reality.
- Before running a discount, check how far it eats into your margin with the Discount calculator.

Subtract the cost from the selling price to get the profit, then divide by the selling price and multiply by 100. The calculator shows margin, markup and profit together.
