Formulas

How profit is calculated

Gross Profit

Revenue − COGS

Profit before any operating expenses or tax

Gross Margin %

Gross Profit ÷ Revenue × 100

Efficiency of production or sourcing

Operating Profit

Gross Profit − Overhead

Also known as EBIT (Earnings Before Interest & Tax)

Net Profit

Operating Profit − Tax

The bottom line — what you actually keep

Net Margin %

Net Profit ÷ Revenue × 100

Best single measure of overall profitability

ROI

Net Profit ÷ COGS × 100

Return on cost invested into production

Profit Tips

Maximize your bottom line

🧮

Know your 3 profit levels

Gross profit ignores overhead. Operating profit includes it. Net profit is after tax. Each requires a different fix.

📉

Attack COGS first

A 10% reduction in COGS hits profit harder than a 10% revenue increase — it flows directly to gross profit with no extra cost.

🔄

Monitor ROI, not just profit

ROI shows how efficiently you turn cost into profit. High revenue with poor ROI signals a scaling problem, not a sales one.

📋

Run monthly scenarios

Pessimistic planning prevents cash crunches. Model a range each quarter so you're never caught off-guard by cost spikes.
