How it works
Understanding the numbers
Margin vs. markup
Gross margin is profit as a percentage of revenue: (revenue − cost) ÷ revenue × 100. Markup is profit as a percentage of cost. They're easy to confuse but very different numbers — a 50% markup is only a 33% margin.
Why it matters
Gross margin is what's left after the direct cost of what you sold, before labor, rent, and overhead. Tracking it by item and overall tells you where the real profit is — and where price or cost needs attention.
