Profit Margin Formula
Profit margin=Revenue− CostRevenue
Profit margin expresses gross profit as a percentage of revenue. It answers the question: "of every dollar earned, how much is profit?"
- Margin (profit / revenue) and markup (profit / cost) are related but not identical: a 50% markup on cost equals a 33.3% margin on revenue.
- Break-even revenue equals total cost — the point at which gross profit is exactly zero.
