How do I determine a percentage of profit?

Answer by  Jimbob (2275)

First you have to add up all the stuff you spent your money on. Then you have to add up all the stuff you sold to make money, or the stuff you did. Then you have to take the number that is the difference left over from the two, if the number is positive good.

To determine the percentage of profit you divide the amount gained or lost, the amount it cost/the amount it sold for, by the selling price.

Take the money you started with and subtract it from the money you have total after the investment. This is the amount you have gained in dollar terms. Take this number and then divide it by the dollar amount that you started with and you will get your profit in percentage terms.

It is very simple, for example if you want the 10 percentage of 1000, we can calculate by this method i.e., 1000*10/100 that is equal to 100.

First, calculate the total income. This is pre-tax. Subtract all expenses, taxes, debt payments and outgo. If any amount is left, that total after expenses is your profit. Divide the profit by income for the percentage of profit.
