Profit FAQ
Is profit growth same as revenue growth?
No. Revenue is total sales. Profit is what is left after expenses. You can have high revenue growth but zero profit growth if costs rise too fast.
What is gross vs net profit?
Gross profit is Sales minus Cost of Goods Sold. Net profit is what remains after ALL expenses (rent, salaries, taxes, etc.).
How do I calculate margin percentage?
Margin is (Profit / Revenue) * 100. Growth is ((New Profit - Old Profit)/Old Profit) * 100.
