e.g                   = (93 000 / 250 000) * 100

                       = 37.2%

The gross profit margin is the percentage of profit made from sales less cost of sales. The higher the gross profit margin, the better.  

Gross profit margin = (gross profit / net sales) * 100

e.g                       = (129 000 / 250 000) * 100

                            = 51.6%
