GMROI Example
How to calculate the GMROI?
- First, determine the gross profit.
Calculate the gross profit after expenses of the business or sector. For this example, we will say this is $50.00
- Next, determine the average cost of inventory.
Calculate the average cost of the inventory being used to generate profit. For this example, we will say this is $25.00.
- Finally, calculate the GMROI.
Using the formula, we find the GMROI to be (50/25)*100 = 200%.
