Why this matters for business
Knowing your real profit on each item helps you price goods correctly and stay in business. A sale that looks good can still lose money once all costs are counted. This tool makes the true result clear.
Margin and percentage
The calculator shows both the profit percentage and the margin, which are easy to confuse. Seeing both helps you compare products and decide where to set your prices for healthy returns.
