The Profit Margin Calculator computes the percentage of revenue that a business retains as earnings after deducting production or operational costs.
Formulas: Profit Margin (%) = [(Revenue − Cost) / Revenue] × 100. Profit Amount = Revenue − Cost.
Margin vs. Markup: Margin expresses profit as a percentage of selling price (Revenue), while Markup expresses profit as a percentage of initial production Cost. A 50% markup results in a 33.3% profit margin.
Benchmark Analysis: Profit margins vary widely by industry—grocery and retail businesses often operate on slim 2%–5% margins with high turnover, while software and consulting firms frequently achieve 20%–50%+ margins.
How is profit margin calculated from revenue and cost?
Subtract total cost from revenue to find profit, then divide that profit by total revenue and multiply by 100 to get the margin percentage.
