How to calculate Net Profit
Net Profit = Total Income − Total Expenses
Let’s say you're a self-employed graphic designer:
-
Total Sales: You earned $5,000 this month from various design projects.
-
Expenses:
-
Cost of software subscriptions: $200
-
Advertising and marketing: $300
-
Taxes: $1,000
-
Other expenses (like utilities and internet): $500
-
Using the formula:
Gross Profit (Sales) = $5000
Total Costs = $200 + $300 + $1,000 + $500 = $2000
Net Profit = $5,000 − $2,000 = $3,000
So, your net profit is $3,000 for the month. This is the amount you actually take home after covering all your business costs.
