Profit and margin inputs

Gross margin

The share of revenue left after direct product costs.

Gross margin compares gross profit with revenue. A 60% gross margin means 60 cents remains from each dollar of revenue before rent, wages and other operating expenses.

Markup

The increase from cost to selling value.

Markup compares gross profit with cost of goods, not revenue. A 150% markup and a 60% gross margin can describe the same price and cost—so the terms are not interchangeable.

Net profit

What remains after operating expenses.

Net profit subtracts the entered operating expenses from gross profit. It may still exclude tax, finance costs, depreciation or owner pay depending on what you include.

Go beyond one formula

Test margin inside the full business model.

The industry simulator connects margin to sales volume, staffing, rent, setup costs, break-even, payback, cash flow and risk.
