How to use MarginGauge
1. Set each revenue stream's monthly revenue and gross margin using the sliders under
"Revenue streams."
2. Set your monthly cost for each category under "Operating expenses."
3. Watch the Summary update instantly — total revenue, gross profit, total expenses, and net
profit all recalculate live.
4. The Revenue mix and Expense mix donuts show which streams and categories make up the largest
share of each side.
5. The Gross margin and Net margin gauges below the donuts track profitability as a percentage —
gross margin reflects revenue and stream margins only, while net margin also factors in your
expenses. Both turn green when positive and red if they dip negative.
Use the sun/moon icon in the top right to switch between light and dark mode — your choice is
remembered on your next visit.
Everything recalculates live in your browser, so feel free to experiment freely — nothing is
saved or sent anywhere.
