What is Gross Profit Margin?

Gross profit margin is the percentage of revenue that remains as profit after subtracting the cost of goods sold. It is calculated by dividing gross profit by the selling price and multiplying by 100. For example, if you buy a product for $60 and sell it for $100, your gross profit is $40 and your gross margin is 40%. Gross margin is one of the most important financial metrics for evaluating the profitability of a product, pricing strategy, or business model — and is reported on every income statement.

What is the Difference Between Margin and Markup?

Margin and markup are both measures of profitability but calculated differently. Gross margin is profit expressed as a percentage of the selling price, while markup is profit expressed as a percentage of the cost price. Using the same example — buy for $60, sell for $100 — the margin is 40% but the markup is 66.7%. Confusing the two is one of the most common pricing mistakes in business. The Margin & Markup Calculator shows both simultaneously so you always know exactly where you stand on both metrics.
