How we calculate this

See methodology
  1. Subtract cost of goods sold from revenue to get gross profit.
  2. Subtract operating and other expenses to get net profit.
  3. Divide each profit figure by revenue to get the matching margin percentage.

Formula

Gross profit Revenue - COGS
Net profit Revenue - COGS - Operating expenses - Other expenses
Gross margin % (Gross profit / Revenue) × 100
Net margin % (Net profit / Revenue) × 100

Worked example

If revenue is $10,000, COGS is $4,000, operating expenses are $2,500, and other expenses are $500, here is the result.

  1. Gross profit is $10,000 - $4,000 = $6,000.
  2. Net profit is $10,000 - $4,000 - $2,500 - $500 = $3,000.
  3. Gross margin is 60.00%, and net margin is 30.00%.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between gross profit and net profit?

Gross profit stops after cost of goods sold. Net profit also subtracts operating and other expenses.

What if net profit is negative?

That means the business is operating at a loss for the numbers you entered.

Should I include owner draws as expenses?

That depends on the view you want. Use whichever treatment is most useful for your planning.
