What does Freelance Project Profit Margin Calculator calculate?
Freelance Project Profit Margin Calculator helps you measure freelance pricing, profitability, or work capacity. Separate billable hours, fees, and expenses, and do not assume every available hour is a paid hour when estimating rate or capacity. This page explains the inputs, method, and checks around the result instead of presenting an unexplained output alone.
Inputs and field meanings
Review these values before running the tool. The labels below come from the actual form so the guidance matches what you will use on this page.
- Project revenue: required, minimum 0.000001.
- Project cost: required, minimum 0.
Calculation method
Profit margin measures profit as a share of revenue: subtract cost from revenue, divide profit by revenue, then multiply by 100.
Do not confuse margin with markup; markup uses cost as the denominator instead of revenue.
Checkable example
Example: revenue 500 and cost 350 gives profit 150, so margin = 150 ÷ 500 × 100 = 30%.
