Enter the total sales ($) and the total costs associated with sales ($) into the Sales Margin Calculator. The calculator will evaluate and display the Sales Margin.

## Sales Margin Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Sales Margin.

SM = (TS-TCS) / TS * 100

• Where SM is the Sales Margin (%)
• TS is the total sales ($) • TCS is the total costs associated with sales ($)

## How to Calculate Sales Margin?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Sales Margin.

Example Problem #1:

1. First, determine the total sales ($). • The total sales ($) is given as: 680.
2. Next, determine the total costs associated with sales ($). • The total costs associated with sales ($) is provided as: 300.
3. Finally, calculate the Sales Margin using the equation above:

SM = (TS-TCS) / TS * 100

The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:

SM = (680-300) / 680 * 100 = 55.88 (%)

Example Problem #2:

For this problem, the variables required are provided below:

total sales ($) = 700 total costs associated with sales ($) = 400
