5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Should I include taxes in the price per unit?
A: This depends on your reporting needs. For gross sales, use pre-tax prices. For net sales, use after-tax prices.

Q2: What if I have multiple products at different prices?
A: Calculate each product separately and sum the results, or use our Bulk Sales Calculator tool.

Q3: How do I account for discounts or promotions?
A: Use the actual sale price (after discounts) as your price per unit in the calculation.

Q4: Can I use this for service-based businesses?
A: Yes, treat each service instance as a "unit" and your service fee as the "price per unit."

Q5: Does this include costs or just revenue?
A: This calculates gross revenue only. For profit calculations, subtract your costs from the sales total.
