    Let’s clear up the confusion between COGS (cost Let’s clear up the confusion between COGS (cost of goods sold) and gross profit.

COGS includes only the direct costs to produce or deliver your product or service like materials, packaging, or subcontracted labor.

Gross profit = revenue - COGS

It tells you what’s left before things like rent, marketing, or software.

It tells you if your pricing and production costs are working in your favor.

Make sure you’re identifying and categorizing these costs correctly!
