Pretax Margin

Pre Tax Margin is a measure of the operating efficiency of a company. Pretax margin is usually expressed as a percentage of revenues.  Since pretax margin evaluates the relationship between operating income and revenues, it is also considered a measure of the profitability of the company.

The calculation of pretax margin is as follows:

Pretax Margin (%) = (Operating Income / Revenues) x 100

Profit margins can vary significantly between industries; therefore, comparisons of pretax margin should be made between companies making similar products.
