## What it means for a shop owner

It is what is left to cover the shop's running costs and then become profit. If gross profit is smaller than the fixed costs, the shop loses money however much it sells. Divide it by sales to get the profit margin.

## A worked example

Net sales are 1100 and the cost of goods is 700. Gross profit = 1100 - 700 = 400.
