Free Profit Calculator for Small Businesses & Freelancers

Profit calculation starts with revenue. Revenue means the total amount your business earns from a sale, project, invoice, order or service before costs are removed. For a freelancer, revenue may be a client project fee. For a shop, it may be product sales. For a contractor, it may be the amount billed for labor and materials. A profit calculator helps you see whether that revenue is actually enough after expenses.

Expenses are the costs required to deliver the work or product. These can include product cost, contractor labor, packaging, delivery, ads, software, rent, payment gateway fees, subcontractors, travel or any direct business cost. If revenue is ₹10,000 and expenses are ₹6,500, the net profit formula is simple: Net Profit = Revenue - Expenses. In this example, profit is ₹3,500.

Profit margin shows how much of your revenue remains as profit. The profit margin formula is Profit Margin = Net Profit / Revenue × 100. If net profit is ₹3,500 on ₹10,000 revenue, the profit margin is 35%. A profit margin calculator is useful before you send a quote or invoice because it tells you whether your price is healthy enough.

Markup is different from margin. Markup compares profit to expenses or cost. The markup formula is Markup = Net Profit / Expenses × 100. If expenses are ₹6,500 and profit is ₹3,500, markup is 53.85%. Use markup when setting prices from cost. Use margin when checking how profitable the final revenue is.
