Small business calculator
Profit Calculator
Estimate how much money you keep on a product or line: enter your cost per unit, selling price, units sold, and an optional discount taken off the line total. You get profit, net revenue, total cost, and a simple margin percentage for quick pricing checks.
Inputs
Use the same currency for cost and price. Discount reduces revenue before profit (gross revenue minus discount).
Results
Figures update when you calculate. Profit is net revenue minus total cost for this line.
Example
Cost per unit is $4.50, you sell at $12.00 each, and you move 80 units with a 10% promotion on the line. Gross line is $960.00, discount is $96.00, net revenue is $864.00, total cost is $360.00, so profit is $504.00 and margin on net revenue is about 58.3%.
How it works
Gross line revenue is selling price × quantity. The discount percent reduces that amount to get net revenue. Total cost is cost per unit × quantity. Profit is net revenue minus total cost. Margin divides profit by net revenue (zero if there is no net revenue).
