Based on the profit margin it will auto calculate selling price excluding of Tax. You can also enter the selling price manually and it will auto-adjust the profit margin for you.
  
  Variable Product:

Adding Products with multiple variations:

If you have products which involve multiple variations like for example a Shirt can have Color & Size variation, then we have multiple ways to work with it:

Solution 1, Create combined variation: Can a variation with a name “Color-Size” and add values like Red-Small, Red-Medium, Red-Large, etc, this can be used for while adding the Shirt.

Solution 2, Create multiple Products: Create multiple different products like Shirt-Red, Shirt-Green, Shirt-Blue with size as variations. When you create multiple products you will NOT have to enter the same details multiple times, first, add the Shirt-Red with all size variations of it and then use the Duplicate Product action to copy the data.
