Questions about this tool

What is the difference between margin and markup?

Margin is profit divided by revenue. Markup is profit divided by cost.

Does this include tax?

No. It uses the revenue and costs you enter and does not calculate income or corporate tax.

What costs should I include?

Enter direct product or service costs separately from other operating costs to see gross and net figures.

Can net profit be negative?

Yes. The result shows a loss when entered costs exceed revenue.
