Java program to calculate Profit or Loss based on Cost Price (CP) and Selling Price (SP).

 

Here is a simple and clean Java program to calculate Profit or Loss based on Cost Price (CP) and Selling Price (SP).

You can run it in any Java compiler (online/offline).

✅ Java Program for Profit and Loss

import java.util.Scanner;

public class ProfitLossCalculator {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

        // Input cost price and selling price
        System.out.print("Enter Cost Price (CP): ");
        double cp = sc.nextDouble();

        System.out.print("Enter Selling Price (SP): ");
        double sp = sc.nextDouble();

        // Calculate profit or loss
        if (sp > cp) {
            double profit = sp - cp;
            double profitPercent = (profit / cp) * 100;

            System.out.println("Profit: " + profit);
            System.out.println("Profit Percentage: " + profitPercent + "%");

        } else if (cp > sp) {
            double loss = cp - sp;
            double lossPercent = (loss / cp) * 100;

            System.out.println("Loss: " + loss);
            System.out.println("Loss Percentage: " + lossPercent + "%");

        } else {
            System.out.println("No Profit, No Loss.");
        }

        sc.close();
    }
}

✅ How This Works

• If Selling Price > Cost Price → Profit
• If Cost Price > Selling Price → Loss
• If both are equal → No Profit, No Loss

Percentages are calculated by:

Profit % = (Profit / CP) × 100
Loss % = (Loss / CP) × 100

⭐ Sample Output

Enter Cost Price (CP): 500
Enter Selling Price (SP): 650
Profit: 150.0
Profit Percentage: 30.0%
