Gross Margin: Gross Profit as a percentage of Sales
Operating Margin: Operating Profit as a percentage of Sales
Return On Sales (ROS): Net Profit as a percentage of Sales

This number describes what income is left over after expenses are deducted from sales.

What do you mean by that? We use ‘margin’ to denote a percentage (of Sales).

People will think of profit margin at different points on the Income Statement. Production might look at Gross Margin while operations might look at Operating Margin; the Finance Department looks at Return On Sales (ROS).
