How the Gross Profit Calculator Works

Gross profit is revenue minus the cost of goods sold — what’s left to cover overhead and profit after paying for the product itself. Gross margin expresses that as a percentage of revenue (gross profit ÷ revenue), while markup expresses it as a percentage of cost (gross profit ÷ cost). $10,000 in sales at $6,000 cost is $4,000 gross profit — a 40% margin, or 66.7% markup.

Margin and markup are easy to confuse: margin is always the smaller number because it’s a share of the larger revenue figure.

gross profit = revenue − cost of goods sold

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you calculate gross profit?

Subtract the cost of goods sold from revenue. $10,000 − $6,000 = $4,000.

What is the difference between margin and markup?

Margin is gross profit as a percent of revenue; markup is gross profit as a percent of cost. Markup is always the larger figure.

What is a good gross margin?

It varies by industry — software often runs 70%+, while retail and grocery can be under 30%.
