Formula notes
profit = revenue − cost; margin = profit / revenue × 100%.
Worked examples
- Example: selling at 150 with 100 cost gives 50 profit, a 33.3% margin.
- Selling 800 units at $25 with a $14 unit cost and $4,000 fixed cost gives $20,000 revenue, $11,200 variable cost, and $4,800 profit.
How to use it
- Enter the cost and selling price.
- Read the absolute profit.
- Read the margin percentage for comparison across products.
Frequently asked questions
Is gross profit the same as net profit?
No. Net profit also subtracts operating costs, tax, and interest.
Can profit be negative?
Yes — a price below cost gives a loss, shown as a negative profit.
Limits and interpretation
- The result depends on which costs are included; accounting profit, contribution margin, operating profit, and cash flow are different measures.
- Returns, discounts, tax, depreciation, inventory timing, and capacity constraints can alter realized profit.
