What is gross profit margin?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gross margin, often known as gross profit margin, demonstrates how much profit a business has left after deducting the direct costs of production or services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gross margin is frequently stated in percentage terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you can use gross margin to compare businesses with different sales levels, it is more complicated to use as a comparison across various industries. That’s because every business has a different margin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gross profit margin formula?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The formula for calculating<\/a><\/strong> gross margin is Gross Margin = Net Sales \u2013 COGS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Net sales refer to the total sales after deductions for discounts and returns. The cost of goods sold, or COGS comprises direct labor and material costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suppose you own a T-shirt manufacturing business. You sell each T-shirt for \u00a330. Your COGS is \u00a315 per shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf Gross Margin = \u00a330 \u2013 \u00a315
\u25cf Gross Margin (Percent) = [(\u00a330 \u2013 \u00a315) \/ \u00a330] X 100<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your gross margin for each T-shirt you trade is 50%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
