Profit Calculator

If SP < CP then it is a loss: Loss% = (Loss / CP) × 100

Profit and loss calculations are fundamental to every business transaction, stock trade, and commercial decision. Our profit and loss calculator instantly computes the absolute profit/loss amount, profit percentage (on cost price), and profit margin (on selling price) — three distinct measures that are often confused but each serve different analytical purposes.

Key distinction: Profit% = (Profit/Cost Price) × 100. Profit Margin% = (Profit/Selling Price) × 100. For a product costing ₹800 and selling at ₹1,000: Profit = ₹200, Profit% = 25% (on CP), Profit Margin = 20% (on SP). Retailers typically quote markup percentage on CP; corporations report profit margin on revenue. Our calculator shows both.

Stock trading application: Buy 100 shares of Reliance at ₹2,450 (investment: ₹2.45 lakh), sell at ₹2,680 (revenue: ₹2.68 lakh). Profit = ₹23,000, Profit% = 9.39%. Add brokerage (0.1% each side) and STT (0.1% on sell) = ₹490 + ₹268 = ₹758. Net profit = ₹22,242. Use our profit calculator online to quickly assess any trading or business transaction.
