Profit Margin

Profit Margin is a crucial financial metric that measures the amount by which revenue from sales exceeds costs, expressed as a percentage of total revenue. It indicates how much profit a company makes for every dollar of sales. This ratio provides insights into a company's profitability and efficiency, showing its ability to convert sales into actual profit. There are several types of profit margins, including gross profit margin (revenue minus Cost of Goods Sold), operating profit margin (gross profit minus operating expenses), and net profit margin (revenue minus all expenses, including taxes and interest).
