Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Sales Calculator?
Our sales calculator is a comprehensive tool that calculates 5 key sales variables: Cost, Revenue, Gross Profit, Gross Margin, and Markup. Enter any 2 values (with at least 1 dollar value) to calculate the other 3 metrics automatically using proven algebraic equations.
How do the sales equations work?
The calculator uses 3 primary equations: Gross Profit = Revenue - Cost, Markup = Gross Profit / Cost, and Gross Margin = Gross Profit / Revenue. These equations are algebraically manipulated to solve for unknown variables based on your input values.
What's the difference between markup and gross margin?
Markup is calculated as Gross Profit divided by Cost (expressed as percentage), while Gross Margin is Gross Profit divided by Revenue (expressed as percentage). Markup shows profit relative to cost, margin shows profit relative to selling price.
What inputs do I need to use this calculator?
