About the Profit Margin Calculator
Enter what an item costs you and what you sell it for to see your profit, gross margin and markup — or enter a target margin to get the price you need to charge.
How does the Profit Margin Calculator work?
Margin is profit as a share of the selling price; markup is profit as a share of cost. To hit a target margin, divide the cost by (1 − margin).
Profit Margin Calculator formula
profit = price − cost
margin = profit ÷ price × 100
markup = profit ÷ cost × 100
price for margin m = cost ÷ (1 − m)Example
Cost $60, price $100 → profit $40, margin 40%, markup 66.67%.
