- nostrademons 19y agoDepends on the industry. 33% margins are not unusual in software. Take a look at some tech companies on Yahoo Finance. Microsoft has about 40% operating margins, Google about 33%, Akamai about 20%. Among smaller startups, margins are even higher. PlentyOfFish.com has roughly 99% margins: $5M in revenue on roughly $50k in expenses.
