What is net profit margin?

Net profit margin shows how much of your revenue actually ends up as profit. It’s the percentage of money your business keeps after covering all operating costs, interest,
and taxes.

Simple formula

Net Profit Margin = (Net Profit ÷ Revenue) × 100

Real world example

If a local bakery makes R200,000 in sales and nets R30,000 after all expenses, the profit margin is 15 percent. That means the business keeps 15 cents of every rand earned.
