Operating Margin

Also called: EBIT margin, operating profit margin

Operating margin is operating income divided by revenue — profitability after all the costs of running the business but before interest and tax. It's the fairest cross-company comparison of operational efficiency, because it strips out financing and tax choices that differ by structure and jurisdiction. Widening operating margin as revenue grows is operating leverage made visible.

Formula

Operating margin = Operating income ÷ Revenue
