Calculation method

Gross sales minus returns, discounts, and allowances.

Sales tax collected is kept outside net sales and added only to the cash-collected planning output. Gross profit subtracts entered COGS from net sales. This is a simplified management estimate, not a journal-entry engine; it excludes timing differences, refunds payable, chargebacks, bad debt, marketplace fee withholding, multi-rate taxes, revenue-recognition rules, and account-specific classifications.
