Overview
Gross margin ratio, also called the gross profit margin ratio, is a profitability metric that measures how much profit a company earns after deducting its direct costs (i.e. cost of goods sold). The formula for the gross margin ratio is as follows:
Gross Margin Ratio = (Revenue - COGS) / Revenue
A higher gross margin ratio is preferred because it indicates that the company is generating more profit by selling its inventory. There are two common ways to increase the ratio:
- Purchase inventory at a discount
- Sell sold at a higher price
