After you have deducted all of your costs and expenses, such as rent, salaries, cost of goods, etc., you&#x2019;re left with net profits of $100k. Now, all you need to do to calculate your profit margin is to divide net profits by total sales. $100k / $500k = 0.2, or 2%, as profit margin is typically expressed in percentages.

It&#x2019;s crucial for businesses to monitor their profit margin closely, as it&#x2019;s a great tool to identify areas ripe for improvement and optimize their earnings. Interestingly enough, higher revenue doesn&#x2019;t always translate into higher profit margin.

If expenses associated with higher sales have increased faster than the revenue, the company can actually end up making less money. That&#x2019;s why keeping the costs low, effectively managing the inventory, and optimizing the pricing strategy for maximum profit is as much a determining factor for healthier profit margin as increased sales. Essentially, there are only two ways for companies to achieve better profit margins: Generate more revenue while keeping the costs low Lower the costs while generating the same amount of revenue &#xA0;&#xA0; Since generating additional revenues is often more difficult, businesses typically experiment with revenue optimization strategies and tend to look for opportunities to cut down on costs and fine-tune their pricing strategy to improve their profit ratio.

Although profit margin can be useful for comparing companies with one another, the comparisons should only be drawn between companies within the same industry and ideally, with similar business models. Seasonality and cyclical sales trends should also be taken into consideration when comparing profit margin over a specific time period.
