Profit Margin Calculator

Margin is profit as a percentage of selling price: (Price - Cost) / Price. Markup is profit as a percentage of cost: (Price - Cost) / Cost. A 50% markup gives a 33% margin. A 100% markup gives a 50% margin. They're related but not the same.

It varies by industry. Software/SaaS: 70-90% gross margin. Retail: 25-50%. Restaurants: 3-9% net. Manufacturing: 10-20%. Service businesses: 15-40%. Compare to your specific industry, not across industries.

Either increase price (if market allows), reduce cost of goods (negotiate with suppliers, improve efficiency), reduce operating expenses, or increase volume to get economies of scale. Most successful businesses focus on all four.
