CSV Profit Analyzer

What is this tool?

The CSV Profit Analyzer lets you paste simple sales data and instantly see total revenue, cost, profit, and margin. It is ideal for quick checks on exported reports from marketplaces, ERPs, or spreadsheets without building complex pivot tables.

Formula

Each line of your CSV is interpreted as quantity, price, cost. For each row the tool computes:

• Row revenue = quantity × price
• Row cost = quantity × cost
• Row profit = row revenue − row cost

The totals shown are the sum of all valid rows, and margin% is calculated as profit ÷ revenue × 100.

Example

With the default data:

qty,price,cost
10,25,10
5,30,12

Total revenue = 10×25 + 5×30 = 400
Total cost = 10×10 + 5×12 = 220
Profit = 400 − 220 = 180 (margin = 45%).

This gives you a quick sense of whether a batch of orders, a campaign, or a set of SKUs is actually generating acceptable profit.

When should you use this tool?

• When you export sales transactions from a marketplace or POS and want a fast profit view.
• When evaluating the impact of a promotion or discount on profitability.
• When checking supplier or cost changes across a group of items.
• When you need a quick sanity check before building a detailed financial model.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What CSV format does this tool expect?

  Use three columns named qty, price, and cost in that order. Extra columns are ignored; malformed rows are skipped so they do not break the totals.

• Can I analyse multiple products at once?

  Yes. Each row can represent any item or order line. The calculator aggregates all valid rows to show total revenue, cost, profit and margin for the whole set.

• Does this replace my BI or reporting tools?

  No. It is designed for quick checks and ad-hoc analysis, especially when exporting limited data from marketplaces or ERPs without building full reports.

• Is my data stored anywhere?

  The calculation runs in your browser only. Paste data, run the analysis, and clear it when you are done; no server-side storage is involved.
