What is Gross Profit?
Gross Profit is the total revenue of your company minus the cost of goods sold.
Gross profit is a fundamental metric that is used to determine the health of your company. It is a good indicator of how much money your company is making, and how much money it is spending.
Gross profit is calculated by taking the total revenue of your company and subtracting the cost of goods sold.
Cost of goods sold is the total cost of the products or services that your company sells. This includes the cost of the product itself, as well as any shipping fees, taxes, or other costs associated with the sale.
For example, if your company sells a product for $100, and the cost of the product is $70, your cost of goods sold is $70.
If your company sells a product for $100, and the cost of the product is $70, and you charge $5 for shipping, your cost of goods sold is $75.
If your company sells a product for $100, and the cost of the product is $70, and you charge $5 for shipping, and you charge $5 for taxes, your cost of goods sold is $80.
