Reading your numbers…
Your profit breakdown
How the profit margin calculator works
Three quick steps separate you from a full profit breakdown you can act on.
Enter your prices
Type in what you paid (cost price) and what you charge (selling price) per unit.
Add quantity & target
Add units sold to see totals, or a target margin to get a suggested selling price.
Get six instant metrics
Margin, markup, profit, revenue and suggested pricing all appear together — no scrolling between tabs.
Built for pricing decisions, not just numbers
A margin figure alone doesn't help you price. These are the details we designed around that.
Six metrics, one calculation
Margin, markup, profit per unit, total profit, revenue and suggested price all appear together — you compare, not re-calculate.
Seconds, not spreadsheets
No formulas to remember and no cells to accidentally break. Type two numbers and get your answer instantly.
Free, with no limit
Run as many calculations as you like across as many products as you sell. There's no paywall behind the numbers.
Copy, download or share
Grab one figure with a tap, save the full breakdown as a text file, or share it straight to your accountant.
What knowing your real margin saves you
Stop guessing at pricing
A margin you can see is a margin you can defend — especially when a customer pushes back or asks for a discount.
Spot thin margins early
Seeing markup next to margin makes it obvious when a "good deal" for the customer is barely profitable for you.
Price with a target in mind
Enter the margin you want to hit and get the exact price needed, instead of adjusting numbers by trial and error.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. There's no sign-up, no trial period and no cap on how many times you calculate.
Margin is your profit as a percentage of the selling price. Markup is your profit as a percentage of the cost price. They use the same two numbers but almost never match — a 50% markup works out closer to a 33% margin.
No. Every calculation runs locally in your browser — your cost, price and quantity are never sent to a server or saved anywhere.
Enter the margin percentage you want to hit, and the calculator works backward from your cost price to tell you the exact price to charge.
Yes. Treat your cost price as your total cost to deliver the service — time, materials and overhead — and the same formulas apply.
Leave the quantity field blank. It defaults to a single unit so you still see accurate per-unit numbers.
Getting more useful numbers
Use your true cost, not just the purchase price — include shipping, packaging and fees your business actually pays.
Don't confuse margin with markup — the same two numbers give different percentages depending on which one you calculate.
A 50% markup is not a 50% margin — it works out closer to 33%, which surprises a lot of first-time sellers.
Check margin per product, not just your average — one heavily discounted item can hide weak pricing elsewhere.
Recalculate whenever costs shift — a small rise from a supplier can quietly erode a margin that used to be healthy.
Use the target margin field to reverse-engineer pricing for a new product before you ever launch it.
