5 modes, break-even, bulk CSV, 10 industry benchmarks.
A profit margin calculator computes the spread between cost and revenue -but most online tools only handle one direction. This one ships three modes: margin from cost+revenue, required revenue from cost+target margin, and revenue from cost+markup. Plus break-even analysis, tax-inclusive math, bulk CSV processing, and industry benchmarks.
Margin and markup confuse most folks: margin = profit / revenue, markup = profit / cost. A 50% markup is only a 33.33% margin. The calculator shows both side by side so you stop quoting one and meaning the other.
Yes. Unlimited use, no signup. Calculator.net is free but only does one direction (cost+revenue → margin). This one ships three modes (margin from cost+revenue, revenue from cost+margin, revenue from cost+markup), break-even, tax-inclusive math, and bulk CSV.
Margin = profit / revenue. Markup = profit / cost. They're often confused. Example: cost $100, revenue $150 = 33.33% margin, 50% markup. Many product folks quote markup but think they're quoting margin -the calculator shows both side by side.
Use the 'From margin' mode. Enter cost + target margin %, get the required revenue. Formula: revenue = cost / (1 - margin/100). For 40% margin on $100 cost, you need $166.67 revenue.
Depends on industry. SaaS: 70-85% gross. Restaurants: 3-12% net. Retail: 40-60% gross. The 'Industry benchmarks' panel shows typical ranges for 10 industries to compare your numbers against.
Yes. Switch to break-even mode. Enter fixed costs + price per unit + variable cost per unit, get the unit volume needed to break even. Formula: units = fixed / (price - variable).
Switch to the tax helper. Enter a gross price (tax included) and tax rate, see the net price and tax amount. Or enter net + rate to add tax. Useful for VAT, GST, sales tax.
Yes. Paste or upload a CSV with columns: cost, revenue, product. Get margin, markup, profit per row. Sort by margin to find underperformers. Browser-only, no upload to any server.
9 currencies: USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, INR, PKR, AED, JPY. Display only -math is currency-agnostic. Switch via the currency picker, all numbers reformat with proper symbols.
Basic mode: cost is total cost of goods (COGS). Break-even mode separates fixed (rent, salaries) from variable (per-unit material). For pricing decisions, include allocated overhead in 'cost' for a fully-loaded margin.
Yes. Everything runs in your browser. CSV uploads are parsed locally, never sent to a server. Cost / revenue / margin numbers stay on your device.
3 modes + break-even + bulk CSV + 10 industry benchmarks. Free unlimited.
