Net Profit Formula ∑

Net Profit = Total Income − Total Expenses

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.
