How the profit margin and markup calculator works
Gross profit = selling price − cost. Margin = profit ÷ selling price. Markup = profit ÷ cost.
Check your measurements and assumptions
This simple calculation excludes taxes, shipping, payment fees, overhead, returns and discounts. A margin percentage uses selling price as its denominator; markup uses cost.
