How it works

Gross margin

(Revenue − cost of goods sold) ÷ revenue. Shows pricing power and production or purchase efficiency.

Operating margin

Operating profit ÷ revenue. Shows how well overheads are controlled.

Net margin

Profit after interest and tax ÷ revenue. What is left for owners.

Markup

Gross profit ÷ cost of goods sold. Often confused with margin: a 50% markup is only a 33% margin.

FAQ

What is a good profit margin?

It depends on the industry. Retail and distribution often run net margins of 2–6%, services and software 10–25% or more. Compare with your own history and with peers.

What is the difference between margin and markup?

Margin is profit as a percentage of the selling price; markup is profit as a percentage of cost. Selling at 150 something that cost 100 is a 50% markup but a 33.3% margin.
