How to Use This Calculator

Enter your Total Net Revenue / Price (e.g. 500 in ) and Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) (e.g. 300 in ). Results update instantly as you type — no submit button or page reload required. Adjust any value to compare scenarios side by side.

The Formula

Gross Profit = Revenue - COGS

Gross Margin % = (Gross Profit / Revenue) × 100%

Markup % = (Gross Profit / COGS) × 100%

Worked Example

500 selling price with 300 COGS.

• Gross Profit: 500 - 300 = 200.

00.

• Gross Margin: × 100 = 40.00%.

• Markup: × 100 = 66.67%.

Understanding Your Result

Gross margin and markup measure the same relationship from opposite directions. A 50% markup (add 50% to cost) equals a 33% gross margin (33% of revenue is profit). Gross margins above 50% are typical for software and professional services; below 20% is common in retail and manufacturing. Contribution margin (revenue minus variable costs) is more useful for short-term pricing decisions than gross margin, which includes all product costs.
