in really simple terms, your profit is how much you made on the sale. for example, if you sold an item that cost you $40 to make for $100, your gross profit is $60. you also had expenses of $25 (taxes, etc). your net income is $35
your profit margin is usually given as a %. (net income divided by revenue)
= 35/100 = 35%

note that there is a gross profit margin and a net profit margin.

Profit is how much money leftover after your sales minus all the cost items, which is normally expressed in a dollar number. Profit margin is the percentage of the profit in terms of your total sales.

For instance, when your sales is $100 millions and your profit is $10 millions, your profit margin is 10%.

Profit is now much money a company makes (sales - costs). Profit margin is the percentage of profit over costs. Grocery chains usually have around a 3% margin (high sales but low profits). Microsoft runs around a 40% margin.

Profit margin would be the actual % profit added to the cost price or in reverse it would be a % of the cost price allocated to profit, profit would be the sales less all expenses including tax

Profit is any cash realized after expenditures, taxes and other pay outs. Profit margin is a ratio of profitability calculated as net income divided by revenues, or net profits divided by sales. It measures how much out of every dollar of sales a company actually keeps in earnings.

Profit is the monetary unit (IE dollar or peso) difference between cost and sell price. Profit margin is the percentage, based on the selling price.

Profit is the "absolute" value of the profit, for example $$$ of profit. Profit margin, when applied to a product, is the difference between selling price and cost stated as a percent of the selling price.

For example, if your cost of goods is $8.00 and your selling price is $10.00, then the following is true:

Profit = $10.00 - $8.00 = $2.00

Profit Margin = (($10.00 - $8.00)/$10.00) x 100% = 20%
