What is the Revenue Calculator?
Compute revenue from price, quantity and discounts, or from multiple lines. To use the Revenue Calculator, enter price per unit, units sold, average discount, returns; it returns net revenue, gross revenue, and shows them instantly as you type.
From revenue to cash flow
Work down the income statement: gross margin, operating margin, EBITDA and net margin. Then confirm profit is real cash with the free cash flow calculator and the accrual ratio.
Efficiency ratios show how fast money turns. The Cash Conversion Cycle Calculator combines DSO, DIO and DPO into one number of days.
- Costs. Marginal cost, average variable cost and the optimal price tools support pricing decisions.
- Elasticity. Price, cross-price and income elasticity show how demand reacts.
How to use the Revenue Calculator
- Enter your numbers. The inputs are Price per unit ($), Units sold, Average discount (%), Returns (%). Use numbers from the same accounting period so the ratios are comparable. Fields marked optional can stay at zero.
- Read the result. The highlighted box gives the Net revenue, and the cards below show Gross revenue. Tables and charts break it down further.
- Test other scenarios. Results update as you type. Change one value at a time to see what drives the answer, and press Reset to go back to the defaults.
Formula and how it works
Example with real numbers
Here is the Revenue Calculator using the default values shown in the calculator above:
Inputs
| Price per unit ($) | 35 |
|---|---|
| Units sold | 4,200 |
| Average discount (%) | 5 |
| Returns (%) | 2 |
Results
| Net revenue | $136,857.00 |
|---|---|
| Gross revenue | $147,000.00 |
With these inputs the calculator returns Net revenue: $136,857.00. Change any value in the calculator to see how the result moves.
What if you change one input?
Sensitivity check: raising Price per unit ($) from 35 to 42 (about 20% higher) and leaving everything else as in the example above changes the results like this:
| Result | Example | After the change | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net revenue | $136,857.00 | $164,228.40 | +20% |
| Gross revenue | $147,000.00 | $176,400.00 | +20% |
The input that moves the result most is the one to check twice. Change it in the calculator above to test your own case.
What the results tell you
The results panel of the Revenue Calculator reports Net revenue and gross revenue. Compare these figures while changing one input at a time, and use the related calculators below to look at the same situation from another angle.

Frequently asked questions
Is revenue the same as profit?
No. Revenue is total sales; profit is what remains after costs.
What is the difference between EBIT and EBITDA?
EBITDA also adds back depreciation and amortization, so it approximates operating cash profit.
Which accounting standard do the formulas follow?
They use the common textbook definitions that apply under both US GAAP and IFRS unless a tool says otherwise.
Are the results guaranteed?
No. Results depend entirely on the numbers you enter and the formulas shown on this page. Please do not make financial decisions based on them alone; confirm important figures with a licensed professional.
