Find your profit, profit margin and markup from a cost and a selling price. Margin shows profit as a share of revenue; markup shows it as a share of cost — the two are often confused, and this tool shows both.
Formula
Profit = Revenue − CostMargin % = (Profit ÷ Revenue) × 100Markup % = (Profit ÷ Cost) × 100
Example
A product costs $60 and sells for $100. Profit is $40, margin is 40% (40 ÷ 100) and markup is 66.7% (40 ÷ 60).
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between margin and markup?
Margin is profit divided by the selling price; markup is profit divided by the cost. A 50% markup is only a 33% margin, so mixing them up overstates profitability.
Is this gross or net margin?
It calculates gross margin from a single cost and revenue. Net margin would also subtract operating expenses, tax and other overheads.
