What is the difference between Gross and Net margin?expand_more

Gross Margin only considers the direct costs of producing goods (COGS). Net Margin considers all expenses, including rent, payroll, taxes, and interest. Net margin is the ultimate "bottom line" indicator.

What is a healthy profit margin?expand_more

Healthy margins vary wildly by industry. Software (SaaS) often sees 70%+ gross margins, while retail or restaurants may operate on 5-10% net margins. A general rule of thumb for small businesses is a 10% net profit margin is "average," 20% is "high," and 5% is "low."
