Formula
Profit = revenue − cost; margin = profit ÷ revenue × 100; markup = profit ÷ cost × 100.
Worked example
The initial example uses the following assumptions. Its result is computed by the same engine as the calculator. Measurements are metric and money amounts use USD; these are illustrative inputs, not market prices.
- Sales revenue
- 150
- Total cost
- 100
- Profit: $50.00
- Profit margin: 33.33%
- Markup on cost: 50%
Assumptions and limitations
Use revenue and costs for the same item or period. Include the expenses relevant to your decision. Zero revenue makes margin undefined; a negative profit is a loss, not a validation error.
Questions about this calculation
Is margin the same as markup?
No. A cost of 100 and selling price of 150 produce a 33.33% margin and 50% markup. Margin divides profit by revenue; markup divides it by cost.
Is this net profit after tax?
Only if the costs entered already include the relevant expenses and taxes. The tool applies no country-specific tax rules.
