Enter the total cost of sales ($) and the total value of sales ($) into the Sales Ratio Calculator. The calculator will evaluate and display the Sales Ratio. 

Sales Ratio Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Sales Ratio. 

SALR = CS / VS * 100
  • Where SALR is the Sales Ratio (%)
  • CS is the total cost of sales ($) 
  • VS is the total value of sales ($) 

To calculate the sales ratio, divide the cost of sales by the value of sales.

How to Calculate Sales Ratio?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Sales Ratio.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the total cost of sales ($).
    • The total cost of sales ($) is given as: 1,500.
  2. Next, determine the total value of sales ($).
    • The total value of sales ($) is provided as: 3,000.
  3. Finally, calculate the Sales Ratio using the equation above: 

SALR = CS / VS * 100

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

SALR = 1,500 / 3,000 * 100 = 50.00 (%)


Example Problem #2: 

For this problem, the variables required are provided below:

total cost of sales ($) = 6,000

total value of sales ($) = 15,000

Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator above.

SALR = CS / VS * 100 = ?
