Gross margin and net margin

Gross margin is what remains of each euro of sales after subtracting the direct cost of producing or buying what was sold; net margin is what is left at the end, once every expense, interest charge and tax has been deducted. The gap between them reveals a business's cost structure: a high gross margin that turns into a thin net margin gives away a company carrying heavy overheads, heavy debt, or both.

Formula

Margen bruto = (ventas − coste de ventas) ÷ ventas
