Calculate profit margin and markup
This profit margin calculator helps compare selling price, revenue, and costs to estimate the profit left from a sale. It can help freelancers and small businesses review pricing decisions and understand the difference between profit margin and markup.
Profit margin formula
Profit margin is calculated as profit divided by revenue, multiplied by 100. Profit is revenue minus the costs included in your calculation. Markup, by contrast, compares profit with cost rather than revenue.
How to use the calculator
- Enter your selling price or revenue.
- Enter the relevant cost amount.
- Review the estimated profit and percentage results.
For a useful business estimate, include the costs that apply to your situation. Results are only as accurate as the figures entered and may not include tax, fees, overhead, or other expenses unless you account for them.
