What does the Profit and Loss Calculator do?

Profit is selling price minus cost. Margin expresses profit as a percentage of the selling price; markup expresses it as a percentage of the cost. They are easy to confuse: buying for 800 and selling for 1,000 is a 25% markup but a 20% margin. Using the wrong one when setting prices can wipe out your expected profit.
