Margins are crucial for determining the profitability of your business. Gross margin reflects how efficiently your company produces and sells its products, while net margin provides a comprehensive picture of profitability after all costs are considered.

Industry Benchmarks for Business Margins

Note: These benchmarks are estimates and vary based on business model, competition, and market conditions.

Practical Example

Scenario:

• Revenue: ₹1,000,000

• Cost of Goods Sold: ₹600,000

• Net Profit: ₹200,000

Calculation:

• Gross Margin (%):
  1,000,000−600,000/1,000,000×100=40

• Net Margin (%):
  200,000/1,000,000×100=20

Interpretation:

In this scenario, the business has a gross margin of 40%, meaning it retains 40% of its revenue after deducting direct costs. The net margin of 20% indicates that, after deducting all expenses, 20% of the revenue is left as profit.
