Net Profit Margin

See: Net Profit. You just take that net profit number, put it in the numerator, and then put revenues in the denominator...and you have your net profit margin.

Like, if a company had $72 million in net profits on a billion dollars of sales (or revenues), then their net profit margin would be 7.2%. That's it.
