Formula and worked example

How to calculate profit margin from cost and selling price

Gross profit = selling price − direct cost. Profit margin = gross profit ÷ selling price × 100.

For a $60 direct cost and a $100 selling price, gross profit is $40 and profit margin is $40 ÷ $100 × 100 = 40%. Markup is different: $40 ÷ $60 × 100 = 66.666667%.

This is a gross per-sale calculation using only the direct cost you enter. It does not calculate net profit or decide which costs belong in your price.
