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.

Margin%=R−CR×100Markup%=R−CC×100\mathrm{Margin\%} = \frac{R-C}{R}\times 100\quad\mathrm{Markup\%} = \frac{R-C}{C}\times 100
  • R — Revenue (selling price)
  • C — Cost

Step-by-step

  1. Enter the cost (COGS or total cost).
  2. Enter revenue or selling price.
  3. 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.

Can margin be negative?

Yes — if cost exceeds revenue, you are selling at a loss.
