BruttomargeRevenueCOGSRevenue×100

BruttomargeRev is not a standard term in formal financial reporting. When it appears in German-language dashboards or datasets, it is often used informally to denote a revenue-based view of gross profitability: essentially the gross margin expressed as a share of revenue. The widely used, precise metric is the gross margin percentage, defined as gross profit divided by revenue.

Calculation and interpretation: Gross margin equals Revenue minus Cost of Goods Sold (COGS). The gross margin percentage (which BruttomargeRev is usually intended to reflect when labeled as such) equals (Revenue - COGS) / Revenue. If you want the figure as a percentage, multiply by 100. For example, with Revenue of 1,000 and COGS of 600, gross profit is 400 and the gross margin percentage is 40%.

Usage and limitations: This metric indicates how much of revenue remains after producing goods, providing insight for pricing, procurement, and product-line decisions. It does not account for operating expenses, taxes, depreciation, or interest, so it can overstate overall profitability if fixed costs are high. It is most useful for comparing profitability across products, segments, or time periods at the gross level, rather than as a measure of overall company performance.

Relation to other metrics: BruttomargeRev is related to but distinct from operating margin and net margin. Differences in revenue definitions and COGS treatment across industries or accounting standards can affect the metric, so consistency in calculation is important for meaningful comparisons.
