Margin Calculator

About This Tool

Look, I get it—you’re not here for fluff. You just want to know how much profit you’re actually making after costs. That’s where a margin calculator comes in. It’s not fancy. It’s not magic. But it does one thing really well: it tells you your profit margin in black and white. I’ve been in the trenches—running small projects, pricing products, trying to stay ahead of expenses. More than once, I’ve thought I was doing great, only to realize my margins were thinner than I thought. That’s why I started using margin calculators. They cut through the guesswork. You plug in your numbers, and boom—you see what you’re really earning. This tool isn’t about impressing investors or sounding smart in meetings. It’s about clarity. Whether you’re selling handmade goods, running a side hustle, or managing a team, knowing your margin helps you make better decisions. Like whether to raise prices, cut costs, or walk away from a deal.

FAQ

Q: What’s the difference between gross margin and net margin?
A: Gross margin only looks at the cost of the product or service—like materials or labor. Net margin includes everything else: rent, taxes, marketing, software subscriptions. This calculator focuses on gross margin because it’s the quickest way to check if your core pricing makes sense. For net margin, you’ll need a full P&L, not just this tool.

Q: Can I use this for services, not just physical products?
A: Absolutely. If you charge $100 for a service and it costs you $40 in time and tools, your margin is 60%. The math doesn’t care if it’s a widget or a website. Just plug in your numbers and go.
