How to Calculate Profit/Loss
Understanding how to calculate profit and loss is essential for businesses and investors.
Profit Calculation
When selling price is higher than cost price:
- Profit Amount = Selling Price - Cost Price
- Profit Percentage = (Profit Amount ÷ Cost Price) × 100%
Loss Calculation
When cost price is higher than selling price:
- Loss Amount = Cost Price - Selling Price
- Loss Percentage = (Loss Amount ÷ Cost Price) × 100%
Our calculator automatically determines whether you've made a profit or loss and performs the appropriate calculation.
