1. What is Net Income %?

Net Income % (also known as Net Profit Margin) is a key financial metric that shows what percentage of revenue is converted into net income. It measures a company's profitability and efficiency in managing its operations.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Net Income % formula:

\[ \text{Net Income \%} = \frac{\text{Net Income}}{\text{Revenue}} \times 100 \]

Where:

\( \text{Net Income} \) — Total profit after all expenses, taxes, and costs
\( \text{Revenue} \) — Total income generated from sales or services
