Formula & Theory - Gross Profit and Net Profit Calculator
The Gross Profit and Net Profit Calculator is based on these standard income-statement formulas:
Gross Profit = Revenue - COGS
Gross Profit Margin = Gross Profit ÷ Revenue × 100%
Net Profit = Revenue - COGS - Operating Expenses - Interest - Taxes
Net Profit Margin = Net Profit ÷ Revenue × 100%| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Revenue | Total sales for the period |
| COGS | Direct costs tied to the goods or services sold |
| Operating Expenses | Overhead such as rent, salaries, marketing, R&D |
| Interest | Interest expense on debt |
| Taxes | Income tax expense for the period |
A high gross margin with a low net margin usually points to heavy overhead, debt, or tax burden. The Gross Profit and Net Profit Calculator makes that gap easy to see.
