Profit happens when the selling price is greater than the cost price.

Loss happens when the selling price is less than the cost price.

The calculator subtracts cost from selling price and labels the result.

This mode is useful for quick resale, stock and invoice checks.

Profit or loss percentage compares the difference with the cost price.

A £20 profit on an £80 cost is 25% because 20 divided by 80 is 0.25.

A £20 loss on an £80 cost is also 25% loss.

This helps compare different items using the same percentage base.

Profit margin compares profit with the selling price rather than the cost price.

For example, £20 profit on a £100 selling price gives a 20% margin.

Margin and markup are not the same measurement.

Use margin when you want profit as a share of the final selling price.

Selling price plus profit mode adds a target percentage to the cost price.

Selling price minus loss mode subtracts a target percentage from the cost price.

Use these modes when planning prices before an item is sold.

The multiplier line shows how the target percent changes the cost price.
