How To Calculate a Power of 3?

  • Calculate the total gross revenue for the selected period
  • Determine Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) or direct costs
  • Subtract COGS from revenue to find gross profit
  • Add all operating expenses such as salaries, rent, and administrative costs
  • Deduct operating expenses from gross profit to get net profit
  • Adjust revenue, COGS, and operating expenses by a small percentage (commonly 3%)
  • Compare the original net profit with the adjusted profit to measure the effect of small improvements in each area
