What is Profit Margin?
In its simplest terms, profit margin represents the percentage of sales that has turned into profit. For example, if your company has 20% profit margin, that means for every $1.00 of sales generated, you have a profit of $0.20. Generally, profit margin tells you how profitable your pricing is. A low-profit margin means you have very little room for error and any unexpected problems, like a sudden increase in the price of raw materials or shipping, could spell disaster. A high-profit margin indicates a lot more breathing room, however, it is always in your best interest to look for improvements and fix inefficiencies because that usually equates to a healthier bottom line.
Our profit margin calculator can give you your Gross Profit Margin – that is, your profit (revenue minus the cost of goods) divided by your revenue. Or, if you factor in additional costs, such as rent, employee wages, and taxes, the profit margin calculator can also give you your Net Profit Margin. Conversely, if you have targeted profit margin or revenue goals, the calculator can give you a target cost of goods and other expenses.
Better Insights = Better Business Decisions
Now that you know your profit margin, what can you do with the information? If you have a negative profit margin, you’re losing money even before you begin to add in Operating Expenses. However, there are no hard rules about what a “good” profit margin is. If you’re looking for funding, Net Income and Cash Flow are important, however, you definitely want to keep in mind that profit margins may be a factor in bank loan and investor considerations.
Making good business decisions begins with good insights. Xendoo offers a dedicated team of financial experts delivering accurate and personalized reports, including a Balance Sheet, Profit, and Loss Statement, and other relevant monthly insights, to give you the best information possible to keep your business growing and thriving.
How to Calculate Profit Margin
- Determine your COGS (cost of goods sold). For example $30
- Determine your revenue (how much you sell these goods for, for example, $50)
- Calculate the gross profit by subtracting the cost from the revenue. $50 – $30 = $20
- Divide gross profit by revenue: $20 / $50 = 0.4
- Express it as percentages: 0.4 * 100 = 40%
- This is how you calculate profit margin… or simply use our gross margin calculator!
