What Does the Calculator Do?
Our calculator helps you determine:
- Profit – the amount you earn from each sale.
- Margin – the percentage of the sale price that is profit.
- Markup – the percentage added to the cost to reach the sale price.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Enter the Cost (how much you pay for the product or service).
- Enter either the Price (selling price) or the Profit you want to make.
- After you have entered the required indicators, click "Сalculate". You will get the result in the green block on the right. The result will include profit, margin, and markup.
- In the additional block, you can enter the sales period (Duration of sale, days.) and the he desired number of sales per day (Sales per day, pcs.). This way, you can clearly estimate the possible income for a certain period of time.
Example
If you buy a product for $100 and sell it for $150:
- Profit: $50
- Margin: 33.33%
- Markup: 50%
If you sell 5 items per day for 30 days:
- Total income: $22,500
- Net profit: $7,500
Common Mistakes
- Margin vs. Markup: Don’t confuse margin with markup – they are calculated differently!
- Decimal Input: Use a dot (.) instead of a comma (,) for decimal numbers.
