Revenue
Total cost
Discount
Profit margin (of net revenue)

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).
