The calculator shows your profit amount and profit as a percentage of revenue.

Profit Formula

Profit = Revenue − Costs, Profit % = (Profit ÷ Revenue) × 100

Example

  • 1.Revenue: $2,500
  • 2.Costs: $1,800
  • 3.Profit = $2,500 − $1,800 = $700
  • 4.Profit % = $700 ÷ $2,500 × 100 = 28%

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions about the Profit Calculator

How is this different from the Profit Margin Calculator?+

They use the same underlying formula. This tool is framed as a general profit check for a project or period, while the Profit Margin Calculator is framed specifically for a single product's pricing.

Should I include taxes in costs?+

Include business-related taxes if you want a post-tax profit figure. For a simple operating profit check, most people exclude income tax and include only direct operating costs.
