How To Calculate Gross Profit?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Total up all money taken in over a given time period (be it a week, month, or year, or any other).  Before debiting expenses (also known as overhead) from this total, you will have a gross figure.

    Once all expenses are subtracted from the gross, you will have the net profit calculated.

    Suppose a retail business takes in $20,000 in one month.  This is the gross.
    But, this business likely has expenses relating to payroll, taxes, insurance, equipment payments, and utilities.  Suppose these expenses total $15,000.  The net profit is then only $5,000, once we've subtracted $15,000 from $20,000.
