3. How Cost, Sell, and Profit Margin Functions Work

Calculating commercial gross profit margins is essential for retail pricing and inventory management. The Canon TS-1200TSC simplifies profit analysis through three dedicated keys:

1. Gross Margin % = ((Selling Price - Item Cost) / Selling Price) × 100
2. Selling Price = Item Cost / (1 - (Desired Margin % / 100))
3. Item Cost = Selling Price × (1 - (Margin % / 100))
  

4. Tax+ and Tax- Sales Tax Calculation Steps

To program or execute state sales tax calculations on your Canon calculator:

  1. Setting Tax Rate: Press RATE SET, type your local tax rate (e.g. 8.25), then press TAX+.
  2. Calculating Price with Tax: Type pre-tax price (e.g. $100.00) and press TAX+ to display $108.25.
  3. Calculating Pre-Tax Amount: Type total receipt price (e.g. $108.25) and press TAX- to extract the $100.00 pre-tax base.
