How to Calculate Gross Profit Margin in Expensify
Making the most of your Expensify data
What is Gross Profit Margin?
Gross Profit Margin is the percentage of revenue that remains after subtracting the cost of goods sold from total revenue.
For example, if your company sells a product for $100 and the cost of goods sold is $50, your gross profit margin is 50%.
Gross profit margin is a very important metric to track because it tells you how much money your company is making off of each sale. It also helps you determine if you're charging too much for your product or service.
For example, if your gross profit margin is only 10%, you might be charging too much for your product. If you're selling a product for $100 and the cost of goods sold is $50, you're only making $50 per sale.
If you're making a lot of sales, but your gross profit margin is low, you might want to consider lowering the price of your product or service.
