Gross Margin Definition. Gross profit margin is the simplest and most basic margin calculation. It equals revenue minus cost of goods sold, divided by revenue. It shows how well the company gets good deals on purchases and turns them into high revenues. If the company generates $10,000 in revenue with COGS of $7,000, its gross profit is $3,000. Dividing $3,000 by $10,000, you get .3, or 30 percent for gross margin.
