Calculate profit or loss percentage on business transactions and investments quickly and accurately.
Formulas:
• Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price
• Loss = Cost Price - Selling Price
• Profit % = (Profit / Cost Price) × 100
• Loss % = (Loss / Cost Price) × 100
Cost Price (CP) is the amount you pay to buy something. Selling Price (SP) is the amount you receive when you sell it. Profit/Loss = SP - CP.
Profit % = (Profit / Cost Price) × 100. For example, if CP is 100 and SP is 120, Profit = 20 and Profit % = (20/100) × 100 = 20%.
Negative profit means a loss. If Selling Price is less than Cost Price, you incur a loss. Loss % is calculated the same way as Profit %.
