It takes your revenue, COGS, and operating expenses to calculate four profitability ratios — gross margin, operating margin, net profit margin, and EBITDA margin — with a visual P&L waterfall, animated margin gauges, and an industry benchmark comparison.
Enter your revenue and costs for the same period — monthly, quarterly, or annual. Include COGS (direct production costs), then break out your operating expenses. Add depreciation, interest, and tax to get to net profit. Select your industry for benchmark context.
eCommerce gross margins typically run 30–50%. SaaS runs 65–80%. If your net margin is below 5%, you're at risk during any revenue slowdown. The single fastest way to improve net margin for most merchants is to reduce payment processing costs — QuadraPay can help.
Profit margin is the percentage of revenue that becomes profit after accounting for costs. Different margin metrics reveal different layers of business health — from operational efficiency to the true bottom line. Understanding all four margins gives you a complete picture of where money is being made and lost in your business.
| Industry | Gross Margin | Operating Margin | Net Margin | Profitability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SaaS / Software | 65–80% | 15–30% | 10–25% | High |
| eCommerce / Retail | 30–50% | 5–15% | 2–8% | Moderate |
| Supplements / Nutra | 45–65% | 10–25% | 5–15% | High |
| Fintech / Financial | 55–75% | 20–40% | 15–35% | High |
| Professional Services | 50–70% | 15–30% | 10–20% | High |
| Manufacturing | 20–40% | 5–15% | 3–8% | Moderate |
| Hospitality / Restaurant | 60–75% | 3–10% | 2–6% | Low–Moderate |
| Online Gaming | 40–60% | 10–25% | 5–18% | High |
Payment processing fees are a direct COGS item for most businesses. On $500K annual revenue with a 3% processing rate, you're spending $15,000/year on processing — directly reducing gross profit. Reducing that rate to 2% saves $5,000/year and improves gross margin by 1 full percentage point.
For high-risk merchants paying 4–5% on card processing, the margin impact is even more dramatic. eCheck/ACH processing at 0.5–1% can recover 3–4 percentage points of gross margin on eligible transaction volumes — often the single largest margin improvement available without changing pricing or COGS structure.
