Profit, Margin & Markup Calculator

Enter cost and selling price to get profit, markup (percent on cost) and margin (percent on sale) instantly. Shop owners often mix these two up.

Quick answer

Bought at ₹800, sold at ₹1,000: profit ₹200, margin 20 %.

How it is calculated

  1. Profit = selling price − cost price = 200.
  2. Markup = profit ÷ cost × 100 = 25%.
  3. Margin = profit ÷ selling price × 100 = 20%.

Worked example

An item bought for ₹800 is sold for ₹1,000. Profit is ₹200: a markup of 25 % on cost, but a margin of 20 % on the sale.

Example values
Cost price₹800
Selling price₹1,000
Result
Profit₹200
Markup (on cost)25 %
Margin (on sale)20 %
Formula
Profit = Sp-Cp
Markup (on cost) = (Sp-Cp)/Cp×100
Margin (on sale) = (Sp-Cp)/Sp×100
