Margin Calculator

The gross profit margin calculator provides assistance for calculating profit margin. The total revenue that a company earns includes the cost involved in producing the goods (Cost of Goods Sold). These two parameters are also used in calculation of profit margin.

Understanding Profit Margin

In simple terms, margin is the difference between the revenue a company has earned and the cost of goods sold.  This difference is expressed as a percentage of revenue. When the value of margin is determined, it is taken as a ratio of revenue and the results is multiplied by 100.

• Profit Margin is used for various financial purposes including checking the financial state of a company. When one company plans to purchase a firm or take managerial control, it checks the profit margin. If the value of margin is negative, it means that the company is facing losses and a zero profit margin gives the impression that there are no profits or losses. However, a positive margin value shows that a company is on a profitable route.

• Companies monitor the profit margin in various financial paradigms. Some firms check the margin for each investment while the others perform this check annually.

Earnings per share and percentage calculators are also widely used among companies to calculate share and percentages respectively.

Formula for Profit Margin

The formula for profit margin is given as

(Revenue – Cost of Goods Sold) / Revenue * 100 (The profit margin is expressed in percentage).

For better understanding, we need to use the gross profit margin formula written above through an example.

How to calculate Profit Margin?

Consider that there is a firm which has earned a revenue of $100. The cost spent on producing the goods is $60. On the basis of these details, the profit margin has to be determined. Hence, we need to insert these values in the formula mentioned above.

Profit Margin = (Revenue – Cost of Goods Sold) / Revenue * 100

Profit Margin = (100-60)100*100

Profit Margin = 40%

Understanding the Gross Margin Formula

The formula for calculating gross margin is very similar to profit margin.

Gross Margin = Profit / Revenue * 100

Consider that a financial firm earns a profit of $20 and the total revenue generated is $150. It means that the cost of producing goods is $ 130 ($150 - $20). Now, simply insert these values in the formula written above.

Gross Margin = 20/150 * 100

Gross Margin = 13.33%
