Frequently Asked Questions

How is Gross Margin different from Markup?+

Gross Margin divides profit by Selling Price R ((R - COGS)/R), whereas Markup divides profit by Cost ((R - COGS)/COGS). A 60% gross margin equals a 150% markup.

How do I price a product to achieve a 70% gross margin?+

Lock R (Selling Revenue), enter your unit COGS, and set GM (%) to 70. The engine computes R = COGS / (1 - 0.70).

Why can gross margin never exceed 100%?+

So long as COGS is positive, gross profit (R - COGS) is strictly less than revenue R, bounding gross margin below 100%.
