Key Profitability Metrics
Example Calculation
Company Quarterly Results
Total Revenue: $100,000
Cost of Sales: $40,000
Operating Expenses: $20,000
Interest Paid: $5,000
Tax Rate: 30%
Step-by-step Calculation
Gross Profit = $100,000 - $40,000 = $60,000
Operating Income = $60,000 - $20,000 = $40,000
Income Before Taxes = $40,000 - $5,000 = $35,000
Taxes = 30% × $35,000 = $10,500
Net Income = $35,000 - $10,500 = $24,500
Net margin: 24.5%

Net Income Formula
Net Income = Operating Income - Interest - Taxes
Step 1: Gross Profit = Revenue - Cost of Sales
Step 2: Operating Income = Gross Profit - Operating Expenses
