To estimate the Gross Profit
The word gross Sales is reflect the sales made during a year. Services uses, the word Gross or Revenue, which reflect the value of benefits provided during the year.
So, it is known as gross revenue as per the bills raised for that time and less refundable taxes in fewer returns. Sales return, and sales allotment are deducted from this gross sale to arrive at the net sales number.
For example, subtract your average monthly varying costs from your measured average monthly sales revenue to get your monthly gross profit. This calculates how much of each dollar of sales you get to keep. That amount, however, you’ll have to pay for overall expenses; then left over is your net profit.
EXAMPLE: Subtracting costs of $5,500 per month from her sales estimate of $10,000 per month, Emme estimates her new average monthly gross profit will be $6,500
Gross profit margin

To Estimate Variable Costs
To estimate the monthly cost for the goods or services you’ll sell as part of achieving your sales estimate. This is a variable cost.
They’re called variable, or incremental because they go up or down depending on the products or services you produce or sell. In retail, they’re called “cost of goods”. For example, in an online-order business, then the more you sell, the more you’ll pay for shipping costs.
Other variable costs include supplies, materials, packaging, and sometimes labour costs used in providing your product or service.
