What is gross profit?

A company holds gross profit from sales after subtracting costs directly associated with producing its goods or services, called Cost of Goods Sold (COGS). The calculation involves the following: Gross Profit = Net Sales - Cost of Goods Sold.
 
A company is the gross profit of sales less the direct costs incurred during the production of its goods or services and this is referred to as Cost of Goods Sold (COGS). The computation is based on the following: Gross Profit = Net sales - Cost of Good Sold.
 
Gross profit is the amount of money a business earns when selling its products or services and then it subtracts the cost of producing or purchasing the products or services. It does not cover other costs such as rent, salaries and taxes.
 
Gross profit is the revenue of a company, less its Cost of Good Sold (COGS). It indicates that profitability of the main operations of a business is calculated before operating costs such as salaries, rent and taxes are deducted.
 
Gross profit is the revenue a company earns from sales minus the cost of goods sold (COGS), showing how much money is made before expenses like rent, salaries, or taxes.
 
The gross profit is what a business makes after deducting the cost of sold goods (COGS). It is a gauge of the efficiency of a company in the production or purchasing of products and a measure of simple profitability before factoring in the operating expenses, taxes and other overheads.
