What is profit margin?

Profit margin is the percentage of revenue that remains as profit after expenses. Gross profit margin = (Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold) / Revenue × 100%. Net profit margin = (Revenue - All Expenses) / Revenue × 100%. Higher margins indicate better profitability.

What's the difference between gross and net profit margin?

Gross profit margin measures profitability after direct costs (COGS) but before operating expenses. Net profit margin measures profitability after all expenses including operating costs, taxes, and interest. Net margin is always lower than gross margin.

What is a good profit margin?

Good profit margins vary by industry. Retail: 0.5-3.5%, Restaurants: 3-5%, Software: 20-30%, Professional services: 10-20%. Generally, 10%+ net margin is considered good, but compare to industry averages for context.

How do I calculate markup from profit margin?

Markup = Profit Margin / (1 - Profit Margin). For example, 20% profit margin = 20% / (1 - 0.20) = 25% markup. Markup is calculated on cost, while margin is calculated on selling price. Our calculator shows both values.

How can I improve my profit margin?

Improve margins by: 1) Increasing prices (if market allows), 2) Reducing costs (negotiate with suppliers, improve efficiency), 3) Selling higher-margin products/services, 4) Reducing waste and overhead. Use our calculator to model different scenarios.
