About Profit Calculator
The Profit Calculator is one of the tools traders, shopkeepers and small manufacturers reach for most on ToolsOfIndia, and it works equally well on a phone or a desktop. Enter cost price and selling price, and the tool returns profit or loss in absolute amount and as a percentage, with a margin view that shows profit as a share of selling price rather than cost. Both views matter because retailers think in margin on sales while manufacturers think in markup on cost, and the tool shows both so a Rs 1,000 item bought for Rs 700 reads clearly as 30 per cent markup or 23.1 per cent margin. GST-inclusive and exclusive toggles handle the common Indian confusion of whether the tax sits in the selling price, and a break-even selling price is shown for the cost entered. It is built for the everyday maths of running a shop. The assumptions are tuned to the Indian market, from new-regime tax slabs to the interest rates actually offered by major banks and Post Office schemes. It earns its keep when pricing a product for a target margin, when checking whether a discount still leaves profit, and whenever comparing markup and margin for a stock item. The layout stays simple on purpose: no clutter, no dark patterns, just the answer you came for.

What is the difference between margin and markup?
Margin is profit % of selling price. Markup is profit % of cost. A 25% margin = 33% markup. Margin is used for profitability analysis, markup for pricing strategy.

What is the difference between margin and markup?
Margin is profit as a percentage of the selling price, while markup is profit as a percentage of the cost price; a 30 per cent markup equals about 23 per cent margin.
Should GST be included in the selling price?
