How much does Microsoft profit every second?

You have likely heard the big numbers about how much Microsoft earns in profit a year, but have you ever wondered what that equates to in regards to ‘per second’? Various numbers have been flung around, ranging from $10 to $300,000. But what actually is the truth?

During the past quarter (October - December 10), Microsoft has earned a staggering US$6.63 billion in profit, and US$19.95 billion in revenue. Let’s see what this equates to.

In one…

  • Day, Microsoft profits: $73,666,667
  • Hour, Microsoft profits: $3,069,444
  • Minute, Microsoft profits: $51,157
  • Second, Microsoft profits: $853
  • Remember, that is profit. Now I’d call that a lot.
