Here are some common ways people use our Profit/Loss Calculator:
Calculate profit margins on products. For example, if you buy inventory for Rs.2,000 and sell it for Rs.3,000 with Rs.200 in expenses, your net profit is Rs.800 (40% profit margin).
Determine your investment performance. If you bought shares for Rs.10,000 and sold them for Rs.12,500, that's a 25% return on investment.
Calculate project profitability. A Rs.50,000 project with Rs.35,000 in costs and Rs.5,000 expenses yields Rs.10,000 profit (20% profit margin).
Track profit after marketplace fees. A Rs.1,500 sale with Rs.1,000 product cost and Rs.150 in fees gives Rs.350 profit (23.33% margin).
Evaluate property flips. Buying for Rs.20,00,000, selling for Rs.25,00,000 with Rs.2,00,000 in renovation costs yields Rs.3,00,000 profit (13.64% ROI).
While our calculator does the work for you, here's how the calculations work:
Formula: (Selling Price) - (Cost Price + Expenses)
Example: (Rs.8,000) - (Rs.5,000 + Rs.500) = Rs.2,500 profit
Formula: (Net Profit/Loss ÷ Cost Price) × 100
Example: (Rs.2,500 ÷ Rs.5,000) × 100 = 50% profit
Formula: (Net Profit ÷ Total Investment) × 100
Example: (Rs.2,500 ÷ Rs.5,500) × 100 = 45.45% ROI
Our calculator does this automatically. Enter your cost price, selling price, and any additional expenses. The profit percentage is calculated as: (Net Profit ÷ Cost Price) × 100.
Our profit loss calculator helps business owners, entrepreneurs, and financial analysts quickly determine their profit margins. Whether you're pricing products, analyzing sales performance, or preparing financial reports, understanding how to compute profit margin is essential for making informed business decisions.
Our tool automatically applies the margin of profit formula to give you accurate results instantly.
The standard formula to calculate a profit margin is:
Profit Margin = (Net Profit / Revenue) × 100
Where:
Net Profit = Revenue - Costs
This calculation gives you the percentage that represents your profit relative to revenue.
Profit is the absolute monetary gain (Selling Price - Costs). ROI (Return on Investment) measures efficiency by showing the percentage return relative to the total investment (including expenses).
Yes, for accurate profit calculations, include all business-related expenses like taxes, fees, shipping, and other costs associated with the sale.
The calculator automatically shows loss percentage when your selling price is less than your total costs. The formula is the same as profit percentage but will show as a negative value.
This calculator works for individual transactions. For multiple products, calculate each separately or sum all costs and revenues for aggregate calculations.
