How it works

Gross profit is revenue minus the cost of goods sold. Gross margin is that profit as a percentage of revenue. Markup is profit as a percentage of cost. Together they define whether your price covers production and leaves room for the rest.

Worked example

Example: Revenue €100,000, COGS €65,000 → gross profit €35,000, margin 35%, markup 54%.

Recommendations

  • Benchmark against your industry — 30–50% is common for healthy product businesses.
  • Watch COGS closely: a small cost increase can erase the whole margin.
  • Use markup when pricing; use margin when reporting to stakeholders.

Tips & advice

  • Gross margin below 20% usually means pricing or procurement needs work.
  • Service businesses often enjoy higher gross margins than product businesses.
  • Include shipping, packaging and storage in COGS for an honest margin.
