How to Calculate the Profit Margin in Ayurvedic Products

Profit margin is the key indicator of financial health of a company.  By comparing profit margin, a company can determine whether they are working efficiently or not. Profit margin in Ayurvedic Products vary from company to company. Some companies take less margin while few take high margin. Now, let’s discuss how profit margin is calculated. 

Just suppose that we purchased a product of MRP 40/-

Net rate- 10/-

Add transportation cost along with others: 1/-

Product Cost- 11/-

Retail Margin- 20% plus 10% offer

If we calculate retailer’s 20% margin and offer then it will cost approx. – 9/-

Deducted amount after MRP-Retailer’s margin = 40-9 = 31/-

Distributor Margin: 10%

According to distributor’s 10% margin, it will cost you approx. 3/-

Deducted amount after retailer’s margin – distributor’s margin = 31-3 = 28/-

After deducting your product cost  from this amount. 28-11 = 17/-. 

Then You will have 17/- remaining in your hand.

In this 17/-, you have to manage doctor’s commission, your salary, team salary( If hired) and other expenses as well. 

Suppose approx. 40% of retailer’s price, you have to spend on doctor’s commission then you have to spend approx. 12/-.

Now deduct this 12/- from the remaining amount. 

Now, You will have 17-12 = 5/- as a profit margin. 

If you calculate profit margin in %age then it will be

 =(Profit margin/Net Rate)x100 

=(5/10)*100 = 50%

Some franchise distributors supply goods at further net rates to healthcare professionals and facilities such as doctors, hospitals, chemists, wholesalers etc. by adding their margin. 

In that case, their supply rates will be Net Rate + (Net rate * % of margin)
