Profit = (Sell Price - Buy Price) × Quantity
Example:
- • Buy Price: $10.00
- • Sell Price: $15.00
- • Quantity Sold: 5 units
- • Profit: ($15.00 - $10.00) × 5 = $25.00
📊 Real-time Tracking: Profit is calculated and displayed instantly on every order completion. You can view daily, monthly, and custom date range profit reports in the Analytics dashboard.
