What this calculator does
Net profit margin shows how much of revenue remains as net profit after the expenses included in your accounting result. Because net profit can be defined differently across reports, the numerator and revenue figure need to come from the same accounting basis and period.
What to know before you use the result
- Net margin uses revenue as the denominator.
- A negative net profit produces a negative net margin.
- Tax treatment, extraordinary items and accounting policies can affect reported net profit.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Using gross profit instead of net profit.
- Comparing margins calculated from different revenue definitions.
- Assuming a high gross margin automatically creates a high net margin.
