Gross Profit

The gross profit is the total revenue subtracted by the cost of generating that revenue. In other words, gross profit is sales minus cost of goods sold. It tells you how much money a business would have made if it didn’t pay any other expenses such as salary, income taxes, office supplies, electricity, water, rent, etc.

Total Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) = Gross Profit
