How It Works

Profit is revenue minus cost of goods and extra expenses. Profit margin compares profit with revenue, while markup compares profit with total cost. The same inputs can reveal whether a product, service, or campaign is actually profitable after costs.

Example

If revenue is $5,000, cost of goods is $3,000, and extra expenses are $500, profit is $1,500. That equals a 30% profit margin and a 42.86% markup on total cost.

Common business use cases
