About Profit and Loss Calculator
Profit or loss on a sale is the difference between total costs and total revenue. This studio calculator provides complete financial transparency across 160+ world currencies, tracking not only direct item cost but also auxiliary overheads, shipping costs, and platform fees.
How to use Profit and Loss Calculator

- Change the selling price to find the price that gives your target margin.
Worked examples
Input: Cost 100, selling price 140, quantity 1
Result: Profit 40.00, markup 40%, margin 28.57%.
Input: Cost 100, selling price 90
Result: Loss 10.00, margin -11.11%.
Background
Profit = revenue - total cost. Margin = profit / revenue x 100. Markup = profit / cost x 100. The same sale gives different numbers for the two: a 40% markup is only a 28.57% margin.
Margin never exceeds 100%, while markup can. Many pricing mistakes come from setting a margin target and applying it as a markup, which leaves profit lower than planned.
Common mistakes
- Mixing up margin and markup when setting prices.
- Leaving out shipping, fees and returns, which can erase a thin margin.
- Calculating per-unit profit and forgetting fixed costs that apply to the whole batch.
