Gross Profit Calculator
Calculate your gross profit from revenue and direct costs. Enter your sales revenue and cost of goods sold to see gross profit, gross margin and the amount of each sales dollar left after direct costs.
Revenue & Cost Inputs
Gross profit is calculated on an ex-GST basis because GST collected is not commercial revenue and is reported separately through your BAS.
Quick Tip: Gross profit covers fixed operational costs like Australian Commercial rent, SaaS subscriptions, and compliance overheads.

| Units / Sales Level | Revenue (AUD) | Direct Costs | Gross Profit | Dollar Growth |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Current Baseline (100 units) | $10,000.00 | $6,500.00 | $3,500.00 | Baseline |
| +10% Sales (110 units) | $11,000.00 | $7,150.00 | $3,850.00 | + $350.00 Profit |
| +25% Sales (125 units) | $12,500.00 | $8,125.00 | $4,375.00 | + $875.00 Profit |
| +50% Sales (150 units) | $15,000.00 | $9,750.00 | $5,250.00 | + $1,750.00 Profit |
Strategic Planning Insight: Direct COGS variables scale in direct proportion to unit volume. Because fixed company overheads (rent, insurance, fixed director salaries) remain constant, every extra dollar of gross profit directly expands net business pre-tax earnings.
How the Calculation Works (Formula Disclosure)
Transparent formulae for calculating gross profit, margin and per-unit profit.
Dollar Amount
$10,000.00 − $6,500.00 = $3,500.00 AUD
Percentage Ratio
($3,500.00 ÷ $10,000.00) × 100 = 35.0%
Gross Profit Per Unit
$3,500.00 ÷ 100 units = $35.00 / unit
Core Distinction: Gross profit measures the absolute dollar amount left after direct production and inventory acquisition costs. Gross margin expresses the identical commercial economic relationship as a percentage of sales revenue.
Gross Profit vs Net Profit: Understanding the Difference
Gross Profit
Product LevelRevenue minus direct costs (COGS). Tells you whether the product or service itself is profitable at the unit or production level before considering company management.

- Landed import freight & customs duty

Net Profit ("Bottom Line")
Entity LevelRevenue minus all business expenses (rent, marketing, admin, wages, interest, tax). Tells you whether the business as a whole is viable and generating bottom-line earnings.
