How to Use This Profit Margin Calculator

Enter your total revenue — the gross income your hotel business earned over a given period. This is the top line before any costs are subtracted. Use monthly figures for the most actionable insights, or annual figures for a big-picture view.

Enter your cost of goods sold (COGS) — the direct costs tied to delivering your product or service. For hotel businesses, this typically includes Labor (rooms, F&B, front office) and Cost of F&B sold. The calculator subtracts this from revenue to show your gross profit and gross margin.
