Qu'est-ce que le/la Marge bénéficiaire ?

La marge bénéficiaire exprime le bénéfice en pourcentage du chiffre d'affaires et indique combien de centimes de profit chaque franc, euro ou dollar de ventes produit.

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%.

Formule
Profit Margin = Profit ÷ Revenue
Exemple

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.
