-Gross margin is total sales revenue minus it costs  of goods sold  .so it represents the percent  of total sales revenue that a company retains after incurring the direct costs associated with producing goods & services it sales.

Gross margin=Revenue of goods sold/ revenue

-but  net profit margin takes all expenses of business into account, so we put  in consideration other expenses such as wages of sales reps,product distribution& miscellaneous operating expenses also tax.

Gross Profit Margin uses the profit before any of the non-product expenses (SG&A etc) are deducted from the revenue. The only expenses deducted are COGS (cost of good sold).

Net Profit Margin uses the profit after all the expenses are deducted from the revenue.
