Frequently Asked Questions

What is profit margin?
Profit margin is the percentage of revenue that remains as profit after deducting costs. Gross margin = (Revenue - COGS) / Revenue. Net margin = (Revenue - COGS - Expenses) / Revenue. Higher margins indicate better profitability.
What is a good profit margin?
It varies by industry. Retail: 5-10%. Software: 20-40%. Consulting: 15-25%. Restaurants: 3-5%. Compare your margin with industry averages. Margins above 20% are generally considered healthy for most businesses.
How to improve profit margin?
Increase prices (if market allows), reduce COGS through better sourcing, cut unnecessary expenses, improve operational efficiency, focus on high-margin products/services, and increase sales volume to spread fixed costs.
What is the difference between gross and net margin?
Gross margin only deducts direct costs (COGS) from revenue. Net margin deducts all expenses including operating costs, taxes, interest. Gross margin shows product profitability; net margin shows overall business profitability.
Is profit margin the same as markup?
No. Margin = Profit / Revenue. Markup = Profit / Cost. For a product costing ₹100 sold at ₹150: Margin = 33.3% (50/150), Markup = 50% (50/100). Margin is always lower than markup for the same profit.
