Net-to-Gross Revenue Ratio
Formula
Net Revenue ÷ Gross Revenue
Definition
Net-to-Gross Revenue Ratio measures the percentage of gross revenue remaining after contra-revenue deductions such as discounts, returns, allowances, rebates, and other revenue adjustments.
It provides a view of how effectively gross revenue converts into reported net revenue before cost of goods sold or operating expenses are considered.
Interpretation
A higher Net-to-Gross Revenue Ratio indicates that a greater share of gross revenue is retained after contra-revenue deductions. A lower or declining ratio indicates that deductions are consuming a greater share of gross revenue.
Changes in Net-to-Gross Revenue Ratio can reflect shifts in discounting, returns, rebates, customer incentives, or other contra-revenue activity.
