What Is Operating Margin?
Operating margin (also called EBIT margin) measures the percentage of revenue that remains after deducting all operating expenses from gross profit. It reflects how efficiently a company manages its core operations.
Operating Margin Formulas
Gross Profit = Revenue − COGS
Operating Income (EBIT) = Gross Profit − Operating Expenses − Depreciation
Operating Margin = (Operating Income / Revenue) × 100
Gross Margin = (Gross Profit / Revenue) × 100
EBIT vs EBITDA
EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) includes depreciation costs, while EBITDA adds back depreciation and amortisation. EBITDA provides a clearer view of operational cash generation by removing non-cash charges.
Industry Benchmarks
Operating margins vary by industry. Technology companies often achieve 20–30% operating margins, while retail businesses typically see 5–10%. Manufacturing usually falls in the 10–20% range.
