Explanation
Common types of profit margin include:
- Gross Profit Margin = (Gross Profit ÷ Revenue) × 100
- Operating Profit Margin = (Operating Profit ÷ Revenue) × 100
- Net Profit Margin = (Net Profit ÷ Revenue) × 100
High margins indicate strong pricing and cost control. Low margins suggest high operating costs or price pressure.
Practical Example of Profit Margin
If a business makes £100,000 in revenue and nets £15,000 in profit, its net profit margin is 15%.
