What is Operating Margin?
Operating margin measures how much profit your business makes on each dollar of revenue after covering operating costs. It is calculated as:
Operating Margin = (Operating Income ÷ Revenue) × 100
Key Concepts:
- Revenue: Total income from sales before any deductions
- COGS: Direct costs to produce goods or deliver services
- Operating Expenses: Overhead costs like rent, salaries, marketing
- Operating Income: Revenue minus COGS minus Operating Expenses
Industry Benchmarks:
- Retail: 2-5% (low margins, high volume)
- Restaurants: 5-10% (tight margins)
- SaaS/Software: 20-40% (high margins)
- Consulting: 15-25% (service-based)
- Manufacturing: 8-15% (moderate margins)
