What is the Profit Margin Calculator?
Margin and markup are often confused. Margin is profit as a percentage of the selling price, while markup is profit as a percentage of cost. Enter any two of cost, price and margin and this calculator works out the rest.
It also finds the selling price you need for a target margin and the number of units required to break even once you add your fixed costs.
