Net profit margin is a rather simple calculation. Only two variables are needed for it:
Your result will be a single percentage. This number represents the net profit margin, indicating how much you made in profit out of the entire amount of revenue that was generated. For example, if you have a net profit margin of 50% it means that your net profit amounted to 50% after all fees, taxes, and other charges were taken from the total revenue that was generated.
Using our net profit margin tool is very easy and simple. The steps include:
Let's say we own a trampoline business where we buy and sell trampolines. We wanted to assess our net profit margin for the entire past year. Last year our net profit was $145,000 while our total revenue was $385,000. We can use this tool to find the net profit margin achieved.
First, we will enter 145,000 into the net profit field. Next, we will enter 385,000 into the total revenue field. We can now hit calculate and find our net profit margin to be 37.66%.
A good net profit margin varies by industry, but generally, a margin above 10% is considered average, 20% is considered good, and 30% or above is very high.
Net profit margin is important because it shows how much of each dollar earned by the company is translated into profit. It is a key measure of overall profitability and financial health.
Yes, a negative net profit margin indicates that the business is operating at a loss, meaning its expenses exceed its revenue.
