Profit Calculator – Gross & Net Profit
The Profit Calculator helps you calculate profit amount, profit margin, or markup based on the cost price and selling price of a product or service. It's useful for business owners, freelancers, retailers, and financial planners.
How to Use the Profit Calculator
Enter any two of the following values:
- Cost Price (CP)
- Selling Price (SP)
- Profit Margin (optional, if calculating backward)
The tool will compute:
- Profit or Loss Amount
- Profit Margin %
- Markup %
Profit Calculation Formulas
- Profit = SP − CP
- Profit Margin % = (Profit ÷ SP) × 100
- Markup % = (Profit ÷ CP) × 100
Example
Cost Price: $100
Selling Price: $150
→ Profit = $150 − $100 = $50
→ Profit Margin = (50 ÷ 150) × 100 = 33.33%
→ Markup = (50 ÷ 100) × 100 = 50%
Common Use Cases
- Small business product pricing
- E-commerce store profit analysis
- Wholesale and retail margin planning
- Service-based pricing strategy
- Freelancer rate and quote calculation
