It varies greatly per company and industry. You are talking about Net Margin and it can vary a lot.
A company like google has a 28% net margin. That means that after paying all expenses for employees and rent and everything, they have 28% left over from revenue as profit. This is very good.
Amazon (being a hybrid retailer/tech company) has 9.29% net margin.
Target has a net margin of 3.84%.
Believe it or not, many public companies have a negative net margin, meaning they spend more than they bring in. Lyft had a negative net margin until just this year. A few years ago, they had a negative net margin of -70%! That means if someone didn’t keep putting money into the company they would have “ceased as a going concern”, as they say. Their most recent year they had a 0.39% net margin. Go Lyft!
