Profit or loss is calculated by subtracting the cost price from the selling price. If the result is positive, it's a profit; if negative, it's a loss. The percentage is calculated as (Profit or Loss / Cost Price) × 100.
Why is my profit showing in green and loss in red?
We use color coding to make it easier to quickly identify your financial outcome. Green indicates a profit (positive outcome), while red indicates a loss (negative outcome).
What if I have multiple items with the same cost and selling price?
Simply enter the quantity in the "Quantity" field, and the calculator will show you both the per-unit profit/loss and the total values based on quantity.
Can I calculate profit margin with this calculator?
