What Is Profit and Loss?

Profit and loss calculation helps determine financial success and supports smarter business decisions.

Profit and Loss Formula

Enter your cost price (CP) and selling price (SP) to instantly find out whether you made a profit or a loss, along with the exact profit/loss percentage for that transaction.

How It Works

If SP is greater than CP, Profit = SP − CP and Profit % = (Profit ÷ CP) × 100. If CP is greater than SP, the same formula applies but the result is shown as a loss instead.

Why Use This Tool

Useful for small business owners checking margins on individual products.
Helps resellers and online sellers decide fair selling prices before listing items.
Quick way to verify profit percentage claims made by suppliers or partners.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a healthy profit margin for retail products?

This varies widely by industry, but many retail businesses target 20–50% margins; use this calculator to check your own numbers against your target margin.

Can I calculate profit for multiple items at once?

Currently it calculates one CP/SP pair at a time; run it again for each item to compare margins.

Does this account for additional costs like shipping or packaging?

No, this uses only the cost price and selling price you enter — include shipping/packaging in your cost price for a more accurate margin.
