What is my revenue?
Enter a price and how many units you sold to see your total revenue. Or enter a revenue goal and a price to see how many units you must sell, or a goal and a number of units to see the price you need.

How to calculate
Computes total revenue from the price and the number of units sold, or the price or units you need for a revenue goal.
Example with the default inputs (Price per unit $25.00, Units sold 1,200): Selling 1,200 units at $25.00 each brings in $30,000.00 of revenue.
Formula: Revenue = price × units; units = revenue ÷ price; price = revenue ÷ units.
- Every unit sells at the same price. For several prices, add up the revenue of each.
- Revenue is before any costs, returns or taxes.
- Arithmetic is exact on the typed decimals; money shows to the cent and units to 2 decimals, halves up.

- Price per unit $800.00, Units sold 5 gives Total revenue $4,000.00.Source: OpenStax, Principles of Economics 3e, 9.2 How a Profit-Maximizing Monopoly Chooses Output and Price, Table 9.3 (total revenue = price × quantity: 5 units at $800 is $4,000). https://openstax.org/books/principles-economics-3e/pages/9-2-how-a-profit-maximizing-monopoly-chooses-output-and-price
- Total revenue $3,600.00, Units sold 4 gives Price per unit $900.00.Source: OpenStax, Principles of Economics 3e, 9.2 How a Profit-Maximizing Monopoly Chooses Output and Price, Table 9.3 (total revenue = price × quantity: 5 units at $800 is $4,000). https://openstax.org/books/principles-economics-3e/pages/9-2-how-a-profit-maximizing-monopoly-chooses-output-and-price (4 units, $3,600)
- Total revenue $50,000.00, Price per unit $19.99 gives Units sold 2,501.250625.
- Price per unit $19.99, Units sold 3 gives Total revenue $59.97.
How it works
With the price per unit P, the units sold Q and the total revenue R:
- Revenue R = P × Q
- Units Q = R ÷ P
- Price P = R ÷ Q
Fill in any two of the three, and the calculator works out the third. If you fill in all three, they must agree.
Rules:
- The price is more than $0 and at most $1 billion. The units are 0 to 1 billion. The revenue is $0 to $1 quintillion.
- 0 units cannot give a price, because any price fits.
- The arithmetic is exact on the decimals you type. Money shows to the cent and units to 2 decimals, with halves rounded up (away from 0).
Assumptions
- Every unit sells at the same price.
- Revenue is gross: before costs, returns, discounts and taxes.
Worked examples by hand
5 units at $800. R = 800 × 5 = $4,000.
$3,600 from 4 units. P = 3,600 ÷ 4 = $900.
A $50,000 goal at $19.99. Q = 50,000 ÷ 19.99 = 2,501.2506…, shown as 2,501.25 units.
3 units at $19.99. R = 19.99 × 3 = $59.97.
Other questions people ask
How do I calculate revenue?
Multiply the price of each unit by the number of units sold. 5 units at $800 each bring in 5 × 800 = $4,000 of total revenue.
What is the difference between revenue and profit?
Revenue is everything you take in from sales. Profit is what is left after you take off the costs: the cost of the goods, wages, rent and so on. A business can have high revenue and still make a loss.
How many units do I need to sell to reach a revenue goal?
Divide the goal by the price. To reach $50,000 at $19.99 a unit you need 50,000 ÷ 19.99 = 2,501.25, so 2,502 whole units.
What price do I need for a revenue goal?
Divide the goal by the number of units you expect to sell. $3,600 from 4 units needs a price of 3,600 ÷ 4 = $900.
Does a higher price always bring more revenue?
No. A higher price usually means fewer units sold. When demand is elastic, the drop in units is larger than the rise in price, and revenue falls. When demand is inelastic, revenue rises.
What if I sell at several prices?
Work out the revenue for each price and add the results. This calculator handles one price at a time.
