Find the input fields labeled Revenue, COGS (Cost of Goods Sold), and SG&A (Selling, General & Administrative Costs). It's best to use annual numbers.

Here’s what each field means:

                   Revenue: This is the total money your business makes from selling products or services.

                   

                   COGS (Cost of Goods Sold): These are the direct costs of producing or buying the products

                        you sell (e.g., materials, manufacturing, or wholesale costs).

​

                   SG&A (Selling, General & Administrative Costs): These are the regular costs of running

                       your business, like salaries, marketing, rent, and utilities.

 

 

For each field:

• Type in the amount using numbers only (no need to add $ signs or other symbols).

• For example, if your revenue is $1,000,000, type in 1000000.

• As you fill in the fields, the calculator will automatically update the Operating Margin below.

• If you make a mistake, simply clear the field and type the correct number.

The background color of the result will change to give you feedback:

​

       Red: Margin is less than 10% (needs improvement)

       Yellow: Margin is between 10% and 20% (fair performance)

       Green: Margin is above 20% (great performance)
