Introduction
Measure how much of each sale becomes profit. This calculator shows profit, margin %, and markup % from cost and revenue.
Formula
Profit margin is profit as a share of revenue. Markup is profit as a share of cost. They are related but not the same.
- R — Revenue (selling price)
- C — Cost
Step-by-step
- Enter the cost (COGS or total cost).
- Enter revenue or selling price.
- Profit = revenue − cost; margin = profit ÷ revenue × 100.
Worked example
Cost $40 and revenue $50 yields $10 profit, 20% margin, and 25% markup.
Use cases
- Price a product against target margin
- Compare margin vs markup on a quote
- Check unit economics quickly
Frequently asked questions
Margin vs markup — which should I use?
Margin is relative to selling price; markup is relative to cost. Retail often quotes markup; finance reports usually quote margin.
