How to use this tool

1. Enter cost (what you paid to produce or buy the item). 2. Enter revenue (selling price or sales total). 3. Click Calculate. 4. Read profit dollars, margin %, and markup % in the results. 5. Compare margin vs markup—25% markup is not the same as 25% margin.

Worked example

Example: cost $60 and revenue $100 → $40 profit, 40% margin (40 ÷ 100), and 66.67% markup (40 ÷ 60).

How it works

Calculates gross profit (revenue minus cost), profit margin percent (profit ÷ revenue), and markup percent (profit ÷ cost). Useful for pricing reviews and P&L checks. Does not include operating expenses, taxes, or channel fees.

Limitations

Formula or method

Profit = revenue − cost. Margin % = (profit ÷ revenue) × 100. Markup % = (profit ÷ cost) × 100.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between margin and markup?

Margin is profit divided by revenue. Markup is profit divided by cost—the same profit yields a higher markup percent than margin percent.

Which percent should I use for pricing decisions?

Retailers often target a margin percent on selling price. Cost-plus pricing often starts with a markup on cost. Use Margin vs Markup Calculator to convert a target into a selling price.

Does this include operating expenses?

No. Enter direct cost and revenue for gross profit only. Rent, payroll, and taxes are not subtracted.
