Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question? We’ve got answers to the most common questions about using our tools.

What is profit and loss?+
Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price (positive). Loss = Cost Price - Selling Price (negative). Profit percentage shows return on investment.
How is profit percentage calculated?+
Profit % = (Profit / Cost Price) × 100. Shows what percentage of cost price you earned as profit. Higher percentage means better profit margin.
What is the difference between profit and markup?+
Profit is the actual amount earned. Markup is the percentage increase from cost. Example: $100 cost, $150 selling = $50 profit, 50% markup.
How do I break even?+
Break even when Selling Price = Cost Price (zero profit/loss). Calculate minimum selling price needed to cover all costs.
What affects profit in business?+
Buying price (lower is better), selling price, quantity sold, and operating costs all affect final profit.
