finance.business-margin-safety Calculator
Calculates the margin of safety in a business finance scenario — the buffer between intrinsic value and current price or cost. Margin of safety is Benjamin Graham's fundamental principle: buying at a 25–50% discount to intrinsic value protects against valuation errors and adverse outcomes.
Inputs
Intrinsic Value
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Market Price
Current trading price. For bonds, rises when interest rates fall and drops when rates rise.
Required Mos
Profit as a percentage of revenue. Margin % is always lower than markup % — a $5 profit on a $15 selling price is 33% margin but 50% markup.
Results
