Profit Margin Calculator

This tool converts between the three ways a price gets quoted: the margin on the selling price, the markup on cost, and the price a target margin needs. Enter a unit cost with either a selling price, a target margin or a markup percentage, and it returns the profit per unit, both percentages and, if you give a quantity, the totals. Margin and markup are easy to mix up, so each result shows the other figure next to it: a 50 percent markup on cost is only a 33.33 percent margin on price. Only the unit cost you enter is counted, so overheads, shipping, payment fees and tax are not in the answer.
