Introduction
This Revenue Calculator shows how much money your sales really bring in. Type in your price, how many units you sold, your discount, and your tax rate. The tool does the math right away.
You get six clear numbers: gross revenue, discounted revenue, money lost to the discount, discount impact as a percent, post-tax revenue, and effective revenue per unit. A bar and a pie chart show where each dollar goes, and a step-by-step section shows every formula used.
You can also add up to five more products or services. The calculator then adds them all together and gives you combined totals in one table. Pick from six currencies, including US dollars, euros, and pounds, and name your own unit, like "seat," "license," or "item." If you need to convert between them, the Currency Calculator can help.
Use it to check a price change, test a sale, or plan a budget. It is free, works on phones and computers, and updates as you type.
How to use our Revenue Calculator
Enter your price, how many units you sold, your discount, and your tax rate. The calculator shows your gross revenue, discounted revenue, revenue lost to the discount, post-tax revenue, and revenue per unit, plus charts and a step-by-step solution.
Currency: Pick the money type you sell in, like USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, or JPY. All results are shown in that currency.
Unit Label: Type what you sell, such as License, Seat, Item, or Hour. This name shows up in your results.
Price per Unit: Type the full price of one unit before any discount. Cents are fine. If you are still setting that price, the Markup Calculator and Margin Calculator can help you land on a number.
Quantity Sold: Type how many units you sold. Use a whole number.
Discount (%): Type the percent off you gave buyers. Leave it at 0 if you sold at full price. For a single sale price check, try the Discount Calculator.
Tax Rate (%): Type the tax percent taken from your sales. Leave it at 0 if you pay no tax. Not sure of your rate? Use the Sales Tax Calculator, or the VAT Calculator, GST Calculator, or HST Calculator if you sell outside the US.
Add Product: Click this to add up to 5 more revenue streams. For each one, enter its own price, quantity, discount percent, and unit label to get a combined revenue total.

What Is Revenue?
Revenue is the money a business makes from selling things before any costs are taken out. The basic formula is simple: Price × Quantity = Gross Revenue. If you sell 500 licenses at $29 each, your gross revenue is $14,500.
Gross Revenue vs. Net Revenue
Gross revenue is the full amount you would make at full price. But most businesses do not keep all of it. Discounts, refunds, and sales tax cut into that number. What is left after those cuts is closer to your net revenue — the money you actually keep. Once you subtract the cost of what you sold, the Gross Profit Calculator and Gross Profit Margin Calculator take the story one step further.
How Discounts Cut Into Sales
A discount lowers the price a customer pays, so it lowers your revenue too. A 10% discount means you give away 10% of your gross revenue. That gap is called revenue lost to discount. Small discounts add up fast when you sell a lot of units. Tracking this helps you see if a sale or promo is worth running. The Percentage Calculator and Percent Change Calculator are handy for testing different discount levels.
Why Tax Matters
Sales tax is money you collect from buyers but pass on to the government. It is not profit. Taking tax out of your revenue gives you a truer picture of what your business really earns from each sale. To work backward from a tax-included total, use the Reverse Sales Tax Calculator.
Revenue Per Unit
Effective revenue per unit is your discounted revenue divided by how many units you sold. It shows what each sale is really worth after discounts. If your list price is $29 but your effective revenue per unit is $26.10, discounts are costing you $2.90 on every single sale.
Multiple Revenue Streams
Most businesses sell more than one thing. A revenue stream is any source of income — a product, a service, a subscription, or an add-on. Adding them up gives you total revenue. Comparing streams side by side shows which products bring in the most money and which ones lose the most to discounts. If you sell on a marketplace, remember to check platform fees with the eBay Fee Calculator, Etsy Fee Calculator, FBA Calculator, or PayPal Fee Calculator.

Remember: revenue is not profit. Profit is what is left after you also subtract costs like materials, salaries, rent, and marketing. Revenue is the top line; profit is the bottom line.
