Running a business requires careful financial planning, and understanding your sales metrics is crucial for success. That's why I created this Business Sales Calculator - a powerful tool that helps you analyze your sales performance with just a few inputs.
What This Calculator Does
This calculator takes three simple inputs:
- Price per unit (your selling price)
- Quantity sold (number of units sold)
- Cost per unit (your production/purchase cost)
It then calculates 6 key metrics that every business owner should track:
1. Total Revenue
The total income generated from sales.
2. Total Cost
The total cost incurred to produce/sell the items.
3. Total Profit/Loss
The net gain or loss after subtracting costs from revenue.
4. Gross Margin (%)
The percentage of revenue that exceeds the cost of goods sold (profitability indicator).
5. Markup Percentage (%)
How much you’ve marked up the cost price to determine the selling price.
6. Profit per Unit
The profit earned on each individual unit sold.
Example Scenario: Selling Handmade Candles
