How the Profit Margin Calculator works

Profit margin measures how much of each sale you keep as profit, expressed as a percentage of revenue. It's a core health metric for any business — and it's distinct from markup, which is profit as a percentage of cost. Confusing the two is a common and costly error.

Formula

Margin = (Revenue − Cost) ÷ Revenue × 100; Markup = (Revenue − Cost) ÷ Cost × 100

Revenue is the selling price, cost is what the item cost you, and the difference is gross profit. Margin divides profit by revenue; markup divides the same profit by cost — so markup is always the larger percentage.

Worked example: an item costing $60, sold for $100

  1. Gross profit = 100 − 60 = $40.
  2. Margin = 40 ÷ 100 × 100 = 40%.
  3. Markup = 40 ÷ 60 × 100 ≈ 66.7%.
  4. Same $40 profit, two very different percentages — which is why you must be clear which you're quoting.

How to read the result

Margin tells you what share of revenue survives as profit, which is what matters for covering overhead and comparing to competitors. A healthy margin varies hugely by industry, so compare against peers, not an absolute benchmark.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Pricing using markup but reporting it as margin (overstating profitability).
  • Looking only at gross margin and ignoring operating costs, shipping, fees, and returns.
  • Setting one margin across products with very different cost structures.

Frequently Asked Questions — Profit Margin Calculator

Margin is profit as a percentage of the selling price; markup is the same profit as a percentage of cost. Markup is always the larger number, so confusing them overstates profitability.
Divide your cost by (1 − target margin). For a 40% margin on a $60 cost: 60 ÷ 0.60 = $100 selling price.
It varies widely by industry — grocery margins are thin, software margins are high. Compare against businesses like yours rather than a single benchmark.
