How the Net Profit Margin Calculator Works

Net profit margin is the share of revenue left after every expense — costs, operating expenses, interest and taxes. Subtract total expenses from revenue to get net income, then divide by revenue. A business with $500,000 revenue and $425,000 in expenses keeps $75,000, a 15% net margin.

It’s the bottom-line profitability number and lets you compare businesses of any size. Margins vary a lot by industry — grocery runs low single digits, software often 20% or more. Rising margin means you’re keeping more of each sales dollar.

net profit margin = (revenue − total expenses) ÷ revenue
