About the Profit Margin Calculator
Profit margin shows what share of the selling price is profit (profit ÷ price). Markup shows profit relative to cost (profit ÷ cost). Confusing the two leads to underpricing — a 50% markup is only a 33% margin.
Enter cost and selling price to see profit, margin, and markup instantly. Or set a target margin to find the price you need to charge.
How to calculate profit margin
- Enter your product or service cost.
- Enter the selling price (or a target margin % to reverse-calculate price).
- Review profit, margin %, markup %, and required price.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between margin and markup?
Margin = profit ÷ selling price. Markup = profit ÷ cost. A $50 cost sold at $100 is 50% margin and 100% markup.
How do I price for a 40% margin?
Price = cost ÷ (1 − 0.40). Use the target margin field in this calculator to get that price automatically.
