Python Program to Calculate Profit or Loss

Write a Python Program to Calculate Profit or Loss with a practical example.

Python Program to Calculate Profit or Loss using Elif Statement

This python program allows the user to enter the Sales amount and Actual cost of a Product. Next, Python calculates the Loss Amount or profit Amount based on those two values using Elif Statement.

# Python Program to Calculate Profit or Loss
 
actual_cost = float(input(" Please Enter the Actual Product Price: "))
sale_amount = float(input(" Please Enter the Sales Amount: "))
 
if(actual_cost > sale_amount):
    amount = actual_cost - sale_amount
    print("Total Loss Amount = {0}".format(amount))
elif(sale_amount > actual_cost):
    amount = sale_amount - actual_cost
    print("Total Profit = {0}".format(amount))
else:
    print("No Profit No Loss!!!")

ANALYSIS

Else If Statement

if(actual_cost > sale_amount):
    amount = actual_cost - sale_amount
    print("Total Loss Amount = {0}".format(amount))
elif(sale_amount > actual_cost):
    amount = sale_amount - actual_cost
    print("Total Profit = {0}".format(amount))
else:
    print("No Profit No Loss!!!")
  • If condition checks whether the actual cost is greater than the sale amount. If True, then it prints the loss amount as actual cost – sales amount
  • Elif statement checks whether the sale amount is greater than the actual cost. If True, it prints the profit amount as sales amount – actual cost
  • If the above conditions fail, it means No Profit No Loss.

Python Program to find Profit or Loss using Arithmetic Operator

In this Python profit or loss program, we are using a Minus operator.

# Python Program to Calculate Profit or Loss
 
actual_cost = float(input(" Please Enter the Actual Product Price: "))
sale_amount = float(input(" Please Enter the Sales Amount: "))
 
if(actual_cost - sale_amount > 0):
    amount = actual_cost - sale_amount
    print("Total Loss Amount = {0}".format(amount))
elif(sale_amount - actual_cost > 0):
    amount = sale_amount - actual_cost
    print("Total Profit = {0}".format(amount))
else:
    print("No Profit No Loss!!!")
