Profit tracking questions, answered.
How do I track daily profit in a small shop?
Record each item's cost and selling price once, then record sales as they happen. BusinessX works out the profit on every sale and adds it up on the daily report.
Does BusinessX do profit and loss?
It shows sales, net profit and margin, plus expenses. Net profit is the profit on your sales minus the expenses you log, so you see what you kept.
What is the difference between margin and markup?
Margin is profit as a share of the selling price; markup is profit as a share of the cost. Our guide to profit margin for small shops walks through both with examples.
Can I look at profit over a year?
Yes. Trends shows sales and profit over 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year or a custom range.
Can I hide profit from my staff?
Yes. Staff do not see profit unless you switch Show profit on for them.
