What is a Profit Margin Calculator?

Margin versus Markup
Margin and markup both measure profit, but they divide by different bases. Mixing them up is a common reason businesses underprice.
Gross profit margin
Margin % = (Profit ÷ Selling Price) × 100
Profit as a share of the selling price (revenue).
Cost ₹800, sell ₹1,000 → profit ₹200 → margin 20%
Markup
Markup % = (Profit ÷ Cost) × 100
Profit as a share of cost price.
Cost ₹800, sell ₹1,000 → profit ₹200 → markup 25%
A 25% markup is not the same as a 25% margin. Always confirm which percentage your buyer or supplier means.
Formula reference
Transparent math for every mode. Effective cost includes your base cost plus additional direct costs.
Profit
- Profit = Selling Price − Effective Cost
Gross margin
- Margin % = (Profit ÷ Selling Price) × 100
- Margin % = ((Selling Price − Effective Cost) ÷ Selling Price) × 100
Markup
- Markup % = (Profit ÷ Effective Cost) × 100
- Markup % = ((Selling Price − Effective Cost) ÷ Effective Cost) × 100
Selling price from margin
- Selling Price = Effective Cost ÷ (1 − Margin% ÷ 100)
Selling price from markup
- Selling Price = Effective Cost × (1 + Markup% ÷ 100)
Max cost from margin
- Effective Cost = Selling Price × (1 − Margin% ÷ 100)
Worked example
Suppose your product costs ₹800 and you sell it for ₹1,000.
Cost price
₹800
Selling price
₹1,000
Profit
₹200
Gross margin
20%
Markup
25%
To keep a 20% margin on ₹800 cost, required selling price is ₹1,000 (800 ÷ 0.80).

What is a good profit margin?
Healthy margins vary by industry, competition, and scale. Treat these ranges as rough orientation, not advice.
| Industry | Typical orientation |
|---|---|
| Grocery / kirana | Often low single digits to mid teens |
| General retail | Often mid teens to around 30% |
| Manufacturing | Varies widely by product and volume |
| Services / freelancing | Often higher when direct costs are low |
| E commerce | Watch fees; effective margin can be thin |
These ranges are educational only. Your true net profit also depends on rent, salaries, taxes, and overhead not entered in this tool unless you add them as costs.
