It provides an immediate calculation of the difference between your cost price (C.P.) and selling price (S.P.), and calculates profit or loss in monetary value. By using this calculator, you can also calculate the profit or loss percentage to understand how efficient your pricing and sales strategy is.
For businesses, the ability to quickly calculate profit and loss is crucial for maintaining profitability and adjusting business strategies as needed.

Using a profit calculator is easy! Simply follow these steps:
Once you click "Calculate," the tool will show you if you made a profit or loss, the amount, and the percentage of profit or loss.
Profit is the positive financial gain a business makes from selling products or services. It occurs when the selling price (S.P.) is greater than the cost price (C.P.). The profit amount is the difference between these two values:
Profit = Selling Price (S.P.) - Cost Price (C.P.)
If the selling price is higher than the cost price, you made a profit, and the calculator will provide both the monetary amount and the profit percentage:
Profit Percentage = (Profit / Cost Price) × 100
Loss occurs when the selling price (S.P.) is less than the cost price (C.P.). The loss amount is the difference between these two values:
Loss = Cost Price (C.P.) - Selling Price (S.P.)
If the selling price is lower than the cost price, you made a loss. The calculator will also provide the loss amount and the percentage of loss:
Loss Percentage = (Loss / Cost Price) × 100
Using a profit/loss calculator provides several benefits, such as:
With accurate and instant results, you can make better decisions about pricing, inventory, and sales strategies.
Let’s say you buy a product for $50 (Cost Price) and sell it for $70 (Selling Price). To calculate the profit:
Profit = Selling Price (S.P.) - Cost Price (C.P.)
Profit = $70 - $50 = $20
The profit percentage is calculated as:
Profit Percentage = (Profit / Cost Price) × 100
Profit Percentage = ($20 / $50) × 100 = 40%
Now, let’s say you buy a product for $50 (Cost Price) but only sell it for $40 (Selling Price). To calculate the loss:
Loss = Cost Price (C.P.) - Selling Price (S.P.)
Loss = $50 - $40 = $10
The loss percentage is calculated as:
Loss Percentage = (Loss / Cost Price) × 100
Loss Percentage = ($10 / $50) × 100 = 20%
