To calculate the margin for a product or service that you sell, divide the Profit you make per unit by your Revenue and multiply it by 100 to express it as a percentage. Here is the formula: Margin Percentage = 100 * (Revenue - Cost) / Revenue. For example, if you sell a product for €10, and the cost to produce it is €3, then your Profit is €10 - €3 = €7, and your Margin Percentage is €7 / €10 * 100 = 70%
