Gross Profit

Accounting & Bookkeeping Glossary

Definition

Gross profit is your revenue minus the direct cost of delivering your services (COGS). It tells you how much money you're making before overhead, salaries, rent, and other operating expenses. For professional services firms, gross profit margin should typically be 50-70%. If yours is lower, you have a pricing problem or an efficiency problem.
