A one-time calculation goes out of date fast
You repeat the sum every month
A calculator shows this month's profit once. Next month you add up the receipts again.
Sales and expenses sit in different places
To find your real profit, you first collect sales, stock purchases and every expense from wherever you noted them.
You can't see how the number was built
A single result doesn't show which expense is growing. It also doesn't show how this month compares with last.

How the calculation works
Gross profit
Sales minus the cost of purchases or stock. This is what you earn before running costs.
Operating expenses
Staff salaries, rent, utilities and other running costs. Subtract them from gross profit to get net profit.
Net profit and margin
What is left after every expense, shown as an amount and as a percentage of sales.
A worked example
Sales of ₹2,50,000, purchases of ₹1,40,000, staff ₹35,000, rent and utilities ₹18,000 and other expenses ₹9,000 leave a net profit of ₹48,000. That is a 19.2% margin.
Questions about calculating business profit
How is gross profit different from net profit?
Gross profit is sales minus purchases or stock cost. Net profit also subtracts staff, rent, utilities and other expenses, so it shows what the business actually kept.
What is a healthy profit margin for a small business?
It depends on the type of business. A retail shop and a service business usually have different margins, so track your own margin over time.
Can I calculate profit for a specific month?
Yes, with your own figures. This calculator gives a quick estimate for any numbers you enter, and Tovan's reports use your recorded entries.
Does this calculator save my numbers?
No. Nothing you enter is stored. To keep your figures, record your income and expenses in Tovan.
