Margin Calculator

About This Tool

It’s not flashy. It won’t grow your business overnight. But if you want to stop guessing and start knowing whether you’re actually making money, this thing is your new best friend.

FAQ

Q: Do I need to be good at math to use this?
A: Nope. If you can type numbers into boxes, you’re golden. The calculator does the heavy lifting. You don’t need to remember that margin is (revenue - cost) / revenue. Just plug in your numbers and move on with your day.

Q: What’s the difference between margin and markup?
A: Great question. Markup is how much you add to the cost to get the selling price. So if you buy something for $10 and sell it for $15, that’s a 50% markup. Margin, on the other hand, is the percentage of the selling price that’s profit. In this case, your margin is 33.3% ($5 profit on a $15 sale). They sound similar but tell different stories—and both matter when pricing your products.
