💡 Practical Example
Selling 1,200 units at $85.00 per unit with a unit cost of $45.00. - Profit per Unit: $85.00 - $45.00 = $40.00/unit. - Total Gross Revenue: 1,200 × $85.00 = $102,000.00. - Total Net Profit Dollars: 1,200 × $40.00 = $48,000.00. - Profit Margin: ($48,000 ÷ $102,000) × 100 = 47.06%.

Profit Margin (%) = (Total Net Profit ÷ Total Gross Revenue) × 100%
Worked Example
Selling 1,200 units at 85.00 per unit with a unit cost of 45.
00.
- Profit per Unit: 85.00 - 45.00 = 40.00/unit.
- Total Gross Revenue: 1,200 × 85.00 = 102,000.
00.
- Total Net Profit Dollars: 1,200 × 40.00 = 48,000.
00.
- Profit Margin: (48,000 ÷ 102,000) × 100 = 47.06%.
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.
