How to Calculate Profit and Loss
Profit and loss calculations help you understand the financial outcome of buying and selling transactions.
Formulas
- Profit: Selling Price - Cost Price (when SP > CP)
- Loss: Cost Price - Selling Price (when CP > SP)
- Profit %: (Profit / Cost Price) × 100
- Loss %: (Loss / Cost Price) × 100
Example
If you buy a product for ₹1000 and sell it for ₹1200:
- Profit = ₹1200 - ₹1000 = ₹200
- Profit % = (₹200 / ₹1000) × 100 = 20%
