How this calculator works

Profit Margin

Profit margin shows how much of each sales rupee remains after direct costs. Markup compares the same profit with the cost instead of revenue.

01

Formula

Profit = Revenue − Cost. Margin = Profit ÷ Revenue × 100. Markup = Profit ÷ Cost × 100.

02

Simple example

Revenue of Rs. 500,000 and costs of Rs. 325,000 produce Rs. 175,000 profit, a 35% margin, and about 53.85% markup.
