Free Business Calculators for Pricing, Profit, Commission and VAT

Pricing and margin

Use the profit margin calculator when you already know revenue and cost of goods sold and want the resulting gross margin. Use the markup calculator when you know your cost and the markup percentage you apply to it. Use the product pricing calculator when you know the cost and the margin the final selling price should carry.

Markup and margin are not the same number: a 25% markup on a cost of 80 gives a price of 100, which is a 20% gross margin. The formula is the same whatever you sell — what changes is which number you start from.

Volume and sales costs

The break even calculator turns fixed costs, unit variable cost and unit selling price into the number of units you must sell before the business covers itself. The sales commission calculator works out a payout from either one flat rate or progressive tiers, so you can see what a sale actually costs in commission.

Tax on the invoice

The VAT calculator adds VAT to a net amount or removes VAT from a gross amount (reverse VAT). You enter the rate, because VAT rates differ by country and change over time; the calculator does not assume one.

A discount, an ROI figure and an hourly rate are variations on the same arithmetic: a discount is a markdown on the selling price, ROI compares profit with the cost that produced it, and an hourly rate is a price per unit of time. Use the markup calculator or the product pricing calculator as the starting point for those.
