What is profit margin?

Margin compares profit with revenue—the selling price received.

Use it to describe how much of each sales unit remains as profit.

The relationship

What the calculation is doing

Worked interpretation

Read the result in context

Revenue 100 and cost 80 gives profit 20; margin is 20 ÷ 100 = 20%.

Interpret with care

Common mistake to avoid

Margin and markup use the same profit but different denominators.

Quick guide

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter the known values using ordinary signed decimals.
  2. Choose an interpretation or relationship when the calculator provides one.
  3. Read the exact result, decimal preview, and any domain explanation.

Calculation method

Use the stated percentage or ratio relationship

margin = (revenue − cost)/revenue × 100%

The calculator keeps finite-decimal inputs as exact reduced fractions and rejects a zero reference or denominator whenever the requested relative quantity would be undefined.

Worked example

Worked interpretation

A cost of 50 and revenue of 75 gives a 33⅓% margin.

margin = (revenue − cost)/revenue × 100%

Supported inputs

Precision and limits

Input precision

Each value may contain up to 30 digits and 15 decimal places. Scientific notation, fractions typed with a slash, and thousands separators are not accepted.

Exactness

Finite decimals are converted to reduced rational numbers. Detected repeating digits appear in parentheses, while previews that exceed the display limit end with an ellipsis; the exact fraction remains available.

Lists and ratios

List-based tools accept 2–12 entries separated by commas, colons, semicolons, or new lines. Ratio parts must satisfy the positivity rules shown by the calculator.

Calculator-specific rule

Cost must be nonnegative and revenue or selling price must be positive.
