net profit after tax

Net profit after tax is an indicator that reflects the final profitability of a company. It refers to the net profit remaining after deducting all costs, expenses, non-business profits and losses, and income taxes. The higher the net profit after tax, the stronger the company's ability to make money, and it also means that the company has more funds that can be used for reinvestment, dividends or debt repayment.

The net profit margin after tax is the percentage of net profit after tax to operating income. It can measure how much money a company can actually keep for every dollar of revenue it earns. The higher the net profit margin after tax, the higher the profit efficiency of the company, and also shows the company's ability to control costs and expenses.

Calculation formulas for net profit after tax and net interest rate after tax

The calculation formulas for net profit after tax and net interest rate after tax are as follows:

Net profit after tax = Net profit before tax – Income tax expense

Net profit margin after tax = (net profit after tax / operating income) x 100%

Among them, net profit before tax refers to the profit after deducting operating costs, operating expenses and non-industry profits and losses from operating income, and income tax expense refers to the income tax paid by the enterprise to the government at the legal rate.

For example, assume that a company's operating income is 10 million yuan, operating costs are 4 million yuan, operating expenses are 2 million yuan, non-industry income is 500,000 yuan, non-industry expenses are 100,000 yuan, and the statutory income tax rate is 20 %. Then, the company’s net profit before tax and net profit after tax are:

Net profit before tax = (1000 - 400 - 200 + 50 - 10) million yuan = 4.4 million yuan

Net profit after tax = 440 x (1 - 0.2) million yuan = 3.52 million yuan

The company’s after-tax net profit margin is:

Net interest rate after tax = (352 / 1000) x 100% = 35.2%
