About the Net Profit Margin Calculator

The P&L waterfall

Revenue − COGS = Gross Profit. Gross Profit − Operating Expenses = Operating Profit. Operating Profit − Taxes & Interest = Net Profit. Each stage has its own margin percentage, and each tells you a different story.

What each margin tells you

Gross margin: is the product itself profitable? Operating margin: is the business efficient at running the operation? Net margin: after everyone else is paid, what's left for the owners? Investors look hardest at operating margin.

Benchmarks worth knowing

Net margin under 5% is fragile; 10% is healthy for most industries; 20%+ is exceptional. Software often runs 20–30% net; grocery retail runs 1–3%. Same net-dollar profit, very different business models.
