SG&A to revenue ratio
SG&A ratio: overhead as a share of revenue
How it is worked out
Selling, general and administrative expense ÷ revenue × 100The share of every sale spent on selling it and running the company, before research and before the cost of the goods themselves. Where a filer tags only a general and administrative line, that narrower figure is what is read, and it flatters.
How to read it
lower is better; a tenth of revenue reads as lean, three fifths as a cost base the sales do not yet carry

The XBRL tags behind it
These are the element names looked for in a filing, in order. The first one a company reports is the one used, and the company page names which it was — so any figure here can be checked against the filing it came from.

Whether it counts
This measure is not counted by default. It can be added to Quality on the dashboard, and it then takes its share of that dimension.
