How to calculate project profitability

Project profitability expresses project profit as a percentage of revenue — useful for comparing projects of different sizes on equal footing.

How the calculation works

Profitability = ((Project revenue − Project cost) ÷ Project revenue) × 100.

Example

$100,000 revenue with $75,000 cost: ((100,000−75,000)÷100,000)×100 = 25%.
