Gross margin

The difference between the selling price of an item and the purchase or manufacturing cost, expressed as a percentage of the selling price. For example, if it costs a company £6 to manufacture an item and the selling price is £10, the gross margin is: (£10 – £6)/£10 x 100 = 40%. When looking at a company’s report and accounts, the gross margin of the business as a whole is its turnover less the cost of sales, divided by the turnover, multiplied by 100.
