Your Airtable screenshot didn’t come through properly.

My guess is that your formula would look something like this:

( {Retail Price Field} / {Wholesale Price Field} ) - 1

Keep the {brackets}, but replace “Retail Price Field” and “Wholesale Price Field” with the actual names of your fields in Airtable.
