Your estimate
Margin and markup use different bases.
Gross profit = selling price − product cost.
Gross margin (%) = gross profit ÷ selling price × 100.
Markup (%) = gross profit ÷ product cost × 100. Markup is undefined when the product cost is zero.
A product or an entire category
For a category, enter total net sales and the matching cost of goods sold for the same period. This accounts for different sales volumes; do not take a simple average of individual product margin percentages.
Keep the inputs consistent
If VAT registered, exclude VAT from sales and recoverable VAT from costs. Otherwise, use revenue retained and actual costs, including non-recoverable VAT. Account for discounts and returns consistently.
This is gross profit before other operating costs. To include fulfilment, selling fees and advertising in your planning, use our break-even ROAS calculator.
