Margin and Profit Percentage Calculator

Calculate your profit, profit percentage, and margin — or reverse-calculate your selling price based on a target profit or margin.

How It Works

• Profit = Selling Price − Cost Price
• Profit % = (Profit ÷ Cost Price) × 100
• Margin % = (Profit ÷ Selling Price) × 100

Examples

Example 1: Standard

Cost: $50, Selling Price: $80

Profit = $30, Profit % = 60%, Margin % = 37.5%

Example 2: Standard

Cost: $20, Selling Price: $25

Profit = $5, Profit % = 25%, Margin % = 20%

Example 3: High Margin Product

Cost: $10, Selling Price: $40

Profit = $30, Profit % = 300%, Margin % = 75%

Example 4: Low Margin, High Volume

Cost: $95, Selling Price: $100

Profit = $5, Profit % = 5.26%, Margin % = 5%

Example 5: Reverse - Target Profit

Cost: $40, Target Profit %: 25%

Price = $50 → Because 25% of $40 = $10

Example 6: Reverse - Target Margin

Cost: $40, Target Margin %: 25%

Price = $53.33 → Because $13.33 is 25% of $53.33
