What is Gross margin?

Gross margin is sales minus cost of goods sold, shown as an amount or as a percentage of sales.

It is the money left to cover operating costs and profit. Compare it by product and category, and with inventory turnover to see which lines earn their stock.

Formula

Gross margin % = (net sales − COGS) ÷ net sales
