Frequently Asked Questions
What is profit and loss calculation?
Profit and loss calculation is the process of determining whether a transaction resulted in a financial gain (profit) or loss. It involves subtracting the cost price from the selling price to find the difference, which represents either profit or loss.
How is profit percentage calculated?
Profit percentage is calculated by dividing the profit amount by the cost price and multiplying by 100. The formula is: (Profit ÷ Cost Price) × 100. This gives you the percentage return on your investment or cost.
What is the break-even price?
The break-even price is the selling price at which you neither make a profit nor incur a loss. It equals your total cost price (including any additional costs). Selling below this price results in a loss, while selling above it generates profit.
How do taxes affect profit calculations?
Taxes can significantly impact your actual profit. Our calculator allows you to include tax rates in your calculations, applying them to both cost and selling prices to give you a more accurate picture of your true profitability after tax considerations.
Can I save or share my calculations?
Yes! Our calculator allows you to save calculations to your history tab for future reference. You can also export detailed reports as PDF documents and share your calculations with others via the share button, which generates a shareable link.
