Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between gross and net profit margin?
- Gross margin only subtracts COGS. Net margin subtracts everything: COGS, operating expenses (salaries, rent, marketing), interest, and taxes. A company can have a healthy gross margin but a thin or negative net margin due to high overhead.
- What is a good net profit margin?
- Net margin benchmarks: Software/SaaS 10–25%+; Retail 2–5%; Restaurants 3–9%; Manufacturing 5–10%. Net margin below 0% means the business is unprofitable at the bottom line.
