How This Gross Profit Calculator Works
This calculator takes your cost price and selling price to compute three key business metrics. Gross profit is the difference between selling price and cost. The margin shows profit as a percentage of revenue, while markup shows profit as a percentage of cost.
Formulas Used
- Gross Profit = Selling Price − Cost Price
- Gross Profit Margin = (Gross Profit ÷ Selling Price) × 100
- Markup = (Gross Profit ÷ Cost Price) × 100
Real-World Example
A UK market trader buys products for £10 each and sells them for £25. The gross profit is £15 per unit, the margin is 60%, and markup is 150%. Understanding these numbers helps with pricing strategy and stock purchasing decisions. Aphelios Software tracks cost prices and margins automatically on every sale, and our pricing is built with small businesses in mind.
Who Should Use This Tool?
- UK retailers pricing products for physical stores
- eCommerce sellers calculating product profitability
- Market traders and pop-up shop owners
- Wholesalers and distributors evaluating margins
- Small business owners reviewing pricing strategy
