A one-off calculation goes stale fast
Today's number, gone tomorrow
A calculator gives you this month's profit once — next month, you're back to adding up receipts and doing the sum again.
Purchases and expenses live in different places
Working out real profit means gathering sales, stock purchases, and every expense from wherever you noted them, before you can even calculate anything.
No record of how you got the number
A one-time calculation doesn't show which expense category is growing, or how this month compares to last.
From a single calculation to a running profit picture
Profit calculated automatically, every day
Once your income and expenses are in Tovan, gross profit, net profit, and margin update on their own — no recalculating each month.
See exactly what changed
Compare this month's profit to last month's and see which expense category moved, instead of a single static number.
How the calculation works
Gross profit
Sales minus the cost of purchases or stock — what you made before operating costs.
Operating expenses
Staff salaries, rent, utilities, and other running costs — subtracted from gross profit to get net profit.
Net profit & margin
What's actually left after every expense, shown both as an amount and as a percentage of sales.
A worked example
₹2,50,000 in monthly sales, ₹1,40,000 in purchases, ₹35,000 in staff, ₹18,000 in rent and utilities, and ₹9,000 in other expenses works out to roughly ₹48,000 net profit — a 19.2% margin.
Questions about calculating business profit
How is gross profit different from net profit?
Gross profit is sales minus the cost of purchases or stock. Net profit subtracts every other expense too — staff, rent, utilities, and anything else — so it reflects what your business actually kept.
What's a healthy profit margin for a small business?
It varies widely by business type — a retail shop's margins usually differ from a service business's. What matters more is tracking your own margin over time and noticing when it changes.
Can I calculate profit for a specific month, not just now?
This calculator gives you a quick estimate for any figures you enter. For actual month-by-month profit calculated from your real entries, Tovan's reports do it automatically.
Does this calculator save my numbers?
No — this tool doesn't store anything you enter; it's just for a quick calculation. To keep a running, automatic profit picture, record your income and expenses in Tovan instead.
