Tool guide

How to use the Margin Calculator

The Margin Calculator separates gross profit, profit margin, and markup. Profit is selling price minus cost, margin divides profit by selling price, and markup divides profit by cost.

What this tool is useful for

Calculate gross profit from cost and selling price.
Compare margin with markup.
Test potential prices before fees, tax, overhead, or returns.

Practical example

If an item costs $60 and sells for $100, gross profit is $40, margin is 40%, and markup is 66.67%. Margin and markup are not interchangeable.

Helpful tips

Margin uses selling price as its denominator; markup uses cost.
Include all relevant costs before treating the result as true business profit.
A positive gross margin does not guarantee net profitability.
