What Is Profit Margin?
Profit margin is the percentage of revenue that remains after all expenses have been paid.
The Formula:
Profit Margin = (Profit / Revenue) x 100Example Calculation:
If your salon earns RM20,000 per month and your expenses are RM15,000, your profit is RM5,000.
Profit Margin = (RM5,000 / RM20,000) x 100 = 25%What Is a Good Salon Profit Margin?
