Formula

The formula to calculate the Percentage of Cost (POC) is:

Where:

$ POC $ is the Percentage of Cost (%).
$ P $ is the profit amount (\$).
$ C $ is the cost amount (\$).

What is Percentage of Cost?

The Percentage of Cost is a measure used to determine the proportion of profit relative to the cost. It is calculated by dividing the profit amount by the cost amount and then multiplying by 100. This percentage helps in understanding the profitability and efficiency of an investment or business operation.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Profit Amount (P): $200
Cost Amount (C): $500

Using the formula to calculate the Percentage of Cost:

\[ POC = \frac{200}{500} \times 100 = 40 \% \]

This means that the percentage of cost for this example is 40%.
