margin calculator

45% = plate cost x 214%
50% = plate cost x 235%
55% = plate cost x 261%
60% = plate cost x 294%
65% = plate cost x 336%
70% = plate cost x 392%
75% = plate cost x 470%

example:
Costs: Fillet Steak = £2.41
Potatoes = £0.45
Vegetables = £0.26
Total Cost = £3.12
To make 50% margin the calculation is as follows:
£3.12 x 235% = £7.33 (Selling price)

 

cash profit calculator

  

Cash Profit Margin = Selling Price (Ex. VAT) – Plate Cost

example:

Selling Price: £9.95 (ex. VAT)
Cost: £4.10
Cash Profit Margin = £9.95 - £4.10 = £5.85

% Profit Margin = [Cash Profit Margin
/ Selling Price (ex. VAT)] * 100

example:

[£5.85 / £9.95] * 100 = 59%
