About This Calculator
This free Profit Margin Calculator works out the three key profitability figures from just your cost price and selling price:
Gross profit = selling price − cost price. Profit margin = (profit ÷ selling price) × 100, telling you the share of each revenue rupee that is profit. Markup = (profit ÷ cost price) × 100, telling you how much you added on top of cost.
Margin and markup sound similar but often differ — margin is relative to the selling price, markup to the cost. A 40% margin is NOT the same as a 40% markup. Use this tool to price confidently and check your unit economics instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between margin and markup?
Profit margin is profit as a percentage of the selling price; markup is profit as a percentage of the cost price. For example, buying at ₹50 and selling at ₹80 gives a 37.5% margin but a 60% markup.
Why do I need to know both margin and markup?
Margin lets you judge how profitable the final sale is (useful for financials), while markup helps you set prices from cost. Mistakes here often mean underpriced or overpriced products.
