Frequently Asked Questions

How is profit or loss calculated?

Profit is the selling price minus the cost price when you sell for more than you paid, while a loss occurs when the cost price is higher than the selling price.

How do I calculate profit percentage?

Divide the profit by the cost price and multiply by 100. The calculator works out both the profit or loss amount and its percentage for you.

What is the difference between margin and markup?

Markup is profit as a percentage of cost price, while margin is profit as a percentage of selling price, so the two give different figures for the same sale.
