Was ist Gewinnmarge?

Die Gewinnmarge drückt den Gewinn als Prozentsatz des Umsatzes aus und zeigt, wie viele Rappen Gewinn jeder Franken Umsatz erzeugt.

There are three commonly cited margins: gross margin (after COGS), operating margin (after all operating costs), and net margin (after interest and tax). Each isolates a different layer of the income statement.

Margins reveal pricing power and cost discipline. Two companies with identical revenue can have very different value — the one with a 25% net margin generates five times more profit per franc of sales than one earning 5%.

Formel
Profit Margin = Profit ÷ Revenue
Beispiel

A boutique earning CHF 1m revenue and CHF 80,000 net profit has an 8% net margin; a software firm with the same revenue and CHF 350,000 profit has a 35% net margin.
