What is a Profit Calculator?

Profit Calculation Formulas
- Gross Profit = Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
- Net Profit = Revenue - COGS - Operating Expenses
- Profit Margin (%) = (Profit / Revenue) × 100
Example:
Revenue = $10,000
COGS = $6,000
Expenses = $2,000
Gross Profit = $10,000 - $6,000 = $4,000
Net Profit = $10,000 - $6,000 - $2,000 = $2,000
Profit Margin = ($2,000 / $10,000) × 100 = 20%
