Calculate the operating margin of a business by entering its operating income and total revenue.
Learn how to use the Operating Margin Calculator and its working principles
Operating margin is a financial metric that measures the proportion of revenue that remains after covering the costs of doing business. It indicates how efficiently a company is operating and how well it is controlling its costs.
The formula for calculating operating margin is:
Operating Margin = (Operating Income / Total Revenue) * 100%
For example, if a company has an operating income of $50,000 and a total revenue of $250,000, the operating margin would be:
Operating Margin = ($50,000 / $250,000) * 100% = 20%
This means that 20% of the company's revenue is left after covering its operating expenses.
