Most small businesses focus on sales — but don’t always check if they’re actually making enough profit.
Profit Margin is a clear number that shows how much money you really keep from each sale, after costs.

Quick Breakdown:

• Revenue is what you make.
• Costs are what you spend.
• Profit Margin is the percentage you keep.

Example:

Sell something for 5,000 .
It costs you 3,000 to make/deliver.
Profit = 2,000
Profit Margin = (2,000 ÷ 5,000) × 100 = 40%

Why it matters:

• Helps you price products properly
• Shows if you’re really profitable
• Keeps you from working hard but earning too little
