How it works
The profit margin calculator compares revenue and cost to estimate profit and margin. It helps price products, check quotes, and review business performance.
Profit = revenue - cost. Margin = (profit / revenue) x 100.
Practical examples
- A product sold for 50 with 30 cost has 20 profit and 40% margin.
- Compare wholesale and retail pricing.
- Review whether a discount still leaves enough margin.
Common mistakes
- Margin and markup are different. Margin uses revenue as the base; markup uses cost.
- Include fees, shipping, and transaction costs when they affect profitability.
