Profit Percentage Calculator
Use this calculator when you have cost and revenue and you want the profit amount plus both common percentages: profit on cost (markup) and profit on revenue (margin).
How this is calculated
Profit is revenue minus cost. Divide that profit by cost for markup, and by revenue for margin.
profit = revenue − cost; on cost = profit / cost × 100; on revenue = profit / revenue × 100
- Cost 150 and revenue 200: profit is 50.
- On cost: 50 / 150 × 100 = 33.333…%.
- On revenue: 50 / 200 × 100 = 25%.
A loss is a negative profit. The percentages then come out negative as well.
