About this calculator

Profit is selling price minus cost; margin is profit as a percent of selling price (not of cost). This calculator keeps those two ideas from collapsing during a Dashain “20% off” conversation.

If COGS is NPR 700 and list is NPR 1,000, margin is 30%. Twenty percent off list → NPR 800 → margin 12.5%. Markup is a different ratio; use language carefully with suppliers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Profit = (selling − cost) × qty. Margin % = profit ÷ revenue × 100. Markup % = profit ÷ cost × 100. Selling at 75 on cost 50 is 33.3% margin and 50% markup — they are not interchangeable.
Defaults to 1. Scales total profit; percents stay the same if unit prices are constant.
If SP includes VAT, margin on VAT-inclusive revenue is not the same as net margin. Split VAT first if you need net.
Allowed if SP < cost. That is a loss; percentages can be negative.
This is unit cost/SP. Apply the discount calculator on SP first if the shelf price changes.
Not included unless you load them into unit cost.
Yes — that is the definition used here.
Enter quantity 100 for total NPR profit; percents unchanged.
Any; arithmetic only.
IRD inventories and VAT reviews use books, not this teaching split.
