Type in what a portfolio costs you and what you sell it for. The calculator returns the profit in dollars, the gross margin as a percentage of price, and the markup as a percentage of cost.
Margin and markup are easy to confuse, and that confusion silently erodes profit. A 50% markup is only a 33% margin. Seeing both side by side keeps your pricing honest.
Use it to test price changes before you make them: nudge the price and watch how quickly margin moves, especially on low-cost, high-volume portfolios.
Frequently asked questions
What is a healthy gross margin?
It varies by finance, but many businesses target 40–60% gross margin so there is room for overhead and net profit. Thin margins leave nothing for the unexpected.
Is markup the same as margin?
No. Markup is calculated on cost; margin is calculated on price. The same dollar of profit is always a larger markup percentage than margin percentage.
Is this calculator free to use?
Yes. It runs entirely in your browser, needs no signup or email, and nothing you enter is stored or sent anywhere.
