How do i work out gross profit as a percentage?
if I have £250,000 revenue
£100,000 direct costs
£50,000 indirect costs
what is my gross profit as a percentage???

god, some people cant do business maths. gross profit is the bit left over after DIRECT costs, so all those of you who come up with 40% or 66.66% - WRONG!!!!!

250,000 less 100,000 direct costs = 150,000, divide this by 250,000 gives you 60% gross profit.

less 50,000 indirect costs leaves 100,000 which divided by revenue gives you 40% net profit.


questor
If you take it at £84,000, then you'll go bust quite quickly

100,000/250,000=40%

Subtract total costs ( here 150,000 ) from total revenue ( 250,000 ) and divide the remainder ( 100,000 ) by the total costs. Your gross % profit here, then, is 66.6666..%

40% I TAKE MY TOTAL COSTS AND DIVIDE BY MY REVENUES. TAKE THAT NUMBER AND SUBTRACT THAT FROM ONE. THE REMAINDER IS YOU PERCENT.

You take all your costs and expenses off the revenue, and divide the remainder by the revenue!

Gross profit (250K - 100K) = 150K divided by revenue (250K) * 100 = 60%

the 40% is the correct answer. The 66( .6666%) mentioned is the mark up. The difference between these two is important. The other important thing to
learn is that very few costs are purely fixed or purely variable ( direct/indirect roughly by another name)
