It provides instant mathematical modeling for loans, investments, taxes, and amortization schedules while ensuring complete confidentiality of your sensitive financial data.

Setting sustainable product pricing requires a clear mathematical understanding of profit margin. Profit margin measures the proportion of total revenue retained as gross profit after subtracting the direct cost of goods sold (COGS), making it a crucial health metric for retail, wholesale, and e-commerce businesses.

Our Margin Calculator determines gross profit and target selling prices locally in your browser. By testing different COGS inputs and margin thresholds, you can establish price points that cover operating overhead and ensure healthy net business earnings.

The Gross Profit Margin Formula

Gross Margin (%)=(RevenueCOGSRevenue)×100\text{Gross Margin (\%)} = \left( \frac{\text{Revenue} - \text{COGS}}{\text{Revenue}} \right) \times 100

If an item costs $60 to manufacture (COGS) and sells for $100, gross profit is $40 and profit margin is 40% ($40 / $100 = 0.40).
