What is Gross Margin?
Gross Margin is a measurement of how much money you make from selling your product or service, compared to how much you spend to produce it.
Gross Margin is calculated by taking your total revenue and subtracting your cost of goods sold (COGS).
For example, if you spend $100 to produce your product and sell it for $200, your gross margin is $100.
Gross margin is a very important metric for any company. If your gross margin is too low, you're not making enough money to sustain your business. If your gross margin is too high, you're not maximizing your profits.
For example, if you spend $100 to produce your product and sell it for $200, your gross margin is $100.
