What is the Profit Margin Calculator?

The Profit Margin Calculator tells you what percentage of every dollar of revenue you actually keep. It supports gross margin, net margin, operating margin and a markup-to-margin converter in a single tool.

Margins are the single best health check on any business. Two companies with the same revenue can have wildly different valuations depending on whether they run at 8% or 40% net margin.

Use gross margin to price products, operating margin to judge day-to-day efficiency, and net margin to compare against benchmarks like SaaS (70โ€“85%) or restaurants (3โ€“9%).

If your margin looks low compared with your industry, the fix is usually raising prices before cutting costs โ€” small price bumps compound quickly at the bottom line.
