Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate net profit margin?

Divide net profit by sales revenue, then multiply by 100. $8,000 of net profit on $100,000 of sales is an 8% net profit margin.

What does a negative net profit margin mean?

It means total costs exceeded revenue for the period. A -5% margin means the business lost $5 for every $100 of sales.

What is the difference between gross profit margin and net profit margin?

Gross profit margin only deducts the direct cost of what was sold. Net profit margin reflects the bottom line after operating expenses and the other costs included in net profit.

Net Profit Margin

Should I use revenue before or after GST or sales tax?

Use a consistent accounting basis. In management accounts, revenue is normally measured net of sales taxes collected on behalf of the government, and the profit figure should be prepared on the same basis.
