Discount & Margin Calculator

There are, and some are fine. The difference is what has been checked. This file was built from scratch, then every formula in it was recalculated by a separate checker that compares each result against an independently worked-out answer — 70 of them here. A template that looks right and totals wrong is worse than no template at all, and that is the usual failing of one downloaded from a search result.

It also opens with sample rows already filled in, so you can see every formula working before you touch it, and it is set up to print without fighting the page setup. No email wall, no signup, no watermark, and you can use it commercially.

A 10% discount sounds small until you see what it does to profit. This Excel discount and margin calculator takes each product's cost, list price and discount, and shows the sale price, profit per unit, new margin and margin points lost.

The key column is the extra volume you would need to sell just to earn the same profit after the discount — usually far more than people expect.

The last column is the one that matters: the extra volume you need just to make the same profit after the discount. It is usually far more than people expect.

The file opens with sample rows so you can see every formula working before you change anything. Type your own figures over them. When you need more rows, insert them inside the existing block rather than underneath it, so the totals keep covering every row.
