What is revenue?

Revenue is the total income a business earns from selling goods or services before expenses. For product sales, gross revenue equals unit price times quantity, then discounts and other income streams adjust the final total.

After calculating revenue, use the profit calculator to subtract costs, or the return on sales calculator to measure operating margin on that revenue. SaaS businesses can model recurring revenue with the SaaS metrics calculator and customer lifetime value with the SaaS LTV calculator.

Revenue formulas

Gross Revenue=Unit Price×Quantity\text{Gross Revenue} = \text{Unit Price} \times \text{Quantity}
Discount Amount=Gross Revenue×Discount %100\text{Discount Amount} = \text{Gross Revenue} \times \frac{\text{Discount \%}}{100}
Net Sales=Gross Revenue−Discount Amount\text{Net Sales} = \text{Gross Revenue} - \text{Discount Amount}
Total Revenue=Net Sales+Other Revenue\text{Total Revenue} = \text{Net Sales} + \text{Other Revenue}
Effective Unit Price=Net SalesQuantity(when quantity>0)\text{Effective Unit Price} = \frac{\text{Net Sales}}{\text{Quantity}} \quad (\text{when quantity} > 0)

Worked example

Selling 100 units at $50 each produces $5,000 gross revenue. A 10% discount removes $500, leaving $4,500 net sales. With no other revenue, total revenue is $4,500 and the effective unit price after discount is $45.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between gross and net revenue?
Gross revenue is the full sales amount before discounts and returns. Net sales subtract discounts to show the revenue actually recognized from product sales.
What counts as other revenue?
Other revenue includes income outside core product sales, such as licensing fees, interest income, or service contracts reported separately from main sales.
How does effective unit price help?
Effective unit price shows the average price per unit after discounts. It is useful for comparing promotional pricing against list price.
Can total revenue exceed gross revenue?
Yes. When other revenue is positive, total revenue equals net sales plus other income and can exceed the original gross product revenue.
Are returns included?
This calculator models discounts as a percentage of gross revenue. Sales returns are not modeled separately; reduce quantity or revenue to approximate returns.
Can I share my inputs?
Yes. Changing fields updates the page URL for easy sharing.
