Profit margin is calculated by dividing your profit by your total revenue and then multiplying the result by 100 to get a percentage. Profit is determined by subtracting costs, fees, and expenses from your selling price. This percentage helps you understand how much of your sales revenue is actual profit.
A 45% profit margin means that nearly half of your sales revenue is profit. For every $100 in sales, you would earn $45 after subtracting costs and expenses. This is considered a strong margin in most industries, indicating efficient pricing, healthy demand, and good cost management in your business operations.
