FAQ
Common questions
What is profit margin?
Profit margin is the percentage of sales left after the cost of goods sold is removed from revenue.
How is markup different from margin?
Markup measures profit against cost, while margin measures profit against selling price.
Can this handle a loss?
Yes. If selling price is below cost, gross profit becomes negative and the margin reflects the loss.
Can I use this for Etsy or Shopify pricing?
Yes. The calculator is a clean baseline before platform fees are layered on top.
Does the calculator store my numbers?
No. The calculations run in the browser and the page does not send your inputs to a backend.
