» Profit Margin= (Net Income/ Total Revenue) x 100%
» A ratio of profitability calculated as net income divided by revenues, or net profits
divided by sales. It measures how much out of every dollar of sales a company
actually keeps in earnings.
Profit margin is very useful when comparing companies in similar industries. A
higher profit margin indicates a more profitable company that has better control
over its costs compared to its competitors. Profit margin is displayed as a
percentage; a 20\% profit margin, for example, means the company has a net
income of $0.20 for each dollar of sales.
Also known as Net Profit Margin.
