Understanding Profit Margin
Profit margin is one of the most important metrics in business finance — it tells you what percentage of revenue survives as profit after costs. A higher margin means a business converts revenue into actual profit more efficiently. Pair this with our discount calculator and commission calculator for the full pricing picture.
Margin vs Markup — The Key Difference
Profit Margin % = (Revenue − Cost) / Revenue × 100 · Markup % = (Revenue − Cost) / Cost × 100Margin and markup are related but measure different things. A product that costs $100 and sells for $150 has a 33.3% margin but a 50% markup — confusing the two is a common pricing mistake, so always clarify which one you're quoting.
Gross vs Net vs Operating Margin
Gross margin only deducts the cost of goods sold. Operating margin also subtracts operating expenses like rent and salaries. Net margin deducts everything, including taxes and interest — the most complete profitability picture. This calculator focuses on gross margin.
Stock Trading Margin
When you trade on margin, you borrow from your broker to buy more securities than your cash alone allows. The initial margin requirement (commonly 50% under Regulation T) is the minimum you must put up; the maintenance margin (typically 25%) is the minimum equity you must keep — falling below it triggers a margin call.
