How this profit calculator works

This profit calculator compares the cost of a product or service with the selling price to show how much profit you make on each sale. It also calculates total profit, profit margin, and markup so you can evaluate your pricing more clearly.

You can also switch to target margin or target markup mode to estimate the selling price needed to reach a specific pricing goal.

What do these terms mean?

Profit: Selling price minus cost
Profit margin: Profit divided by selling price
Markup: Profit divided by cost
Total profit: Profit per unit multiplied by units sold

Common uses

Set a profitable selling price
Compare margin and markup
Estimate total profit across many units
Check whether pricing covers costs

Profit formulas

The calculator uses these standard business formulas:

Profit = Revenue − Cost Profit Margin (%) = (Profit ÷ Revenue) × 100 Markup (%) = (Profit ÷ Cost) × 100 Total Profit = Profit per Unit × Units Sold Target Selling Price from Margin = Cost ÷ (1 − Margin) Target Selling Price from Markup = Cost × (1 + Markup)

Example

If your cost is $50 and your selling price is $80, your profit is $30 per unit. That gives you a profit margin of 37.5% and a markup of 60%.

Profit Calculator FAQ

What is the difference between margin and markup?

Margin is based on selling price, while markup is based on cost. They are related, but they are not the same percentage.

Can I use this for services and not just products?

Yes. You can use it for products, freelance work, consulting, labor, or any sale where you know the cost and the amount charged.

What if I want a specific target margin?

Change the target mode to target margin, enter your desired percentage, and the calculator will estimate the selling price needed.

Does tax count as profit?

No. Sales tax is usually collected on top of the selling price and is not normally treated as profit. This calculator shows it separately as an optional add-on.

Can I estimate profit for many units at once?

Yes. Enter the number of units sold and the calculator will estimate total revenue and total profit.
