Formula Reference

Gross Profit
Selling Price - Cost Price
= ₹1500 - ₹1000 = ₹500
Gross Profit Margin
(Gross Profit ÷ Selling Price) × 100
= (₹500 ÷ ₹1500) × 100 = 33.33%
Markup %
((Selling - Cost) ÷ Cost) × 100
= ((₹1500 - ₹1000) ÷ ₹1000) × 100 = 50.00%
Net Profit Margin
(Net Profit ÷ Revenue) × 100
= (₹30,000 ÷ ₹1,00,000) × 100 = 30.00%

Understanding Profit Metrics

Profit Margin vs Markup:

Margin is profit as a percentage of selling price. Markup is profit as a percentage of cost price. A 50% markup equals a 33.3% margin!

Gross Profit:

Revenue minus cost of goods sold (COGS). Doesn't include operating expenses like rent, salaries, marketing.

Net Profit:

The "bottom line" after ALL expenses. This is your actual take-home profit. Net margin shows overall business efficiency.

Pricing Best Practices

  • Know ALL your costs: materials, labor, overhead, packaging, shipping
  • Research competitor pricing before setting your margins
  • Different products can have different margins based on demand
  • Premium brands typically have 50%+ margins, budget brands 10-20%
  • Factor in discounts, returns, and payment processing fees
  • Review margins quarterly and adjust based on market conditions
