I appreciate the screenshot that shows the profit margin, 5312796.

I'd like to ask how you set the 15.1%. The profit margin is automatically calculated by subtracting the cost (د.ع11747500) from your income (13518125د.ع). Then, the total is divided by the revenue and multiplied by 100. Using this formula, QBO was able to arrive at a profit margin of 13.1%.

To ensure that the profit margin is calculated correctly in QuickBooks Online, it's recommended to check if there are any missing sales transactions in the projects. You can review the Project Profitability Report to review the data. Here's how:

1. Go to the Projects menu and click the project you want to review.
2. Proceed to the Project Reports tab.
3. Select Project Profitability, then click the View link in the right-hand corner.

dear  jenop2

thank you for the clarification I have been confused between the Markup and the profit margin

since I set up the Markup of my expenses to 15 percent I thought the profit margin is also be set to 15 percent That was my mistake in understanding the difference between both.

Thank you for your help!
