Overview
Use this Gross Profit Margin Calculator to quickly estimate gross profit, gross margin, and markup from your revenue and cost of goods sold. It is useful for checking product profitability, comparing periods, or reviewing pricing performance.
How it works
The calculator subtracts cost of goods sold from revenue to find gross profit. It then divides gross profit by revenue to calculate gross profit margin, and divides gross profit by cost of goods sold to calculate markup. These measures help show how much money is left after direct production or purchase costs, before overheads and other business expenses.
