Gross profit and margins

Calculate gross profit, markup and profit margin using prices excluding VAT.

How do I use this calculator?

Enter amounts on the same basis: same currency, period and tax treatment. Change one assumption at a time to compare results. The proposed values illustrate the calculation and are not an offer.

The formula

Margin = sales − purchase cost ; markup rate = margin / purchase cost ; margin rate on sales = margin / sales.

Fixed costs and taxes are not subtracted: this is not net profit.

A practical example

Here is the calculation with the values shown on opening. You can restore them with the reset button.

Example inputs and result: Gross profit and margins
Purchase cost excluding tax 60 €
Selling price excluding tax 100 €
Gross profit 40 €
Markup percentage 66.666667 %
Profit margin percentage 40 %

The result corresponds to these inputs and the stated formula. Displayed decimals are rounded to at most six places; calculations retain the available precision until display.

Frequently asked questions

How can I check the result?

Use the formula “Margin = sales − purchase cost ; markup rate = margin / purchase cost ; margin rate on sales = margin / sales.” with your own values. First check the units and stated conditions, then compare your result with the tool.

Are my data saved?

The entered values are used only for the calculation in your browser. The application does not send them to a calculation service or retain them after reload. See the privacy policy for hosting operations.

Why does the calculator show an error?

An empty field, division by zero or a value incompatible with the formula may prevent calculation. The message explains the correction needed. You may use a dot or comma for decimals.
