WHAT WASTAGE DOES TO YOUR GP
Month's net sales: £30,000
Stock used (cost of sales): £10,000
Recorded wastage: £500

Waste as a share of stock used: £500 ÷ £10,000 = 5%

GP with the waste: (£30,000 - £10,000) ÷ £30,000 = 66.7%
GP without it: (£30,000 - £9,500) ÷ £30,000 = 68.3%

That £500 cost you 1.6 points of GP.
Over a year, that's £6,000 !

And that's only the waste that got written down.
Anything that went in the bin without being recorded shows up as stock variance instead.
