Enter the total profit ($) and the total revenue ($) into the calculator to determine the Percent Profit. 

Percent Profit Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Percent Profit. 

PP = TP / TR * 100
  • Where PP is the Percent Profit (%)
  • TP is the total profit ($)
    • Profit = revenue – costs
  • TR is the total revenue ($) 

To calculate the percentage profit, divide the total profit by the total revenue, then multiply by 100.

How to Calculate Percent Profit?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Percent Profit.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the total profit ($). In this example, the total profit ($) is given as 1000.
  2. Next, determine the total revenue ($). For this problem, the total revenue ($) is given as 2000.
  3. Finally, calculate the Percent Profit using the equation above: 

PP = TP / TR * 100

The values given above are inserted into the equation below:

PP = 1000 / 2000 * 100 = 50 (%)

Example Problem #2: 

The variables needed for this problem are provided below:

total profit ($) = 3000

total revenue ($) = 4000

Entering these values and solving gives:

PP = 3000 / 4000 * 100 = 75 (%)
