Sales minus the cost of goods is only gross profit. Rent, salaries and bills come out after that. Recording them is what turns your report into real profit and loss.

  • Direct cost: freight and shipping in, packaging. These count against gross profit.
  • Operating: rent, salaries and wages, utilities, marketing and the like.
  • Other: bank charges and interest, tax.
