In this case, the business has a significant buffer between its estimated sales and breakeven point.

A company estimates its current sales to be $1 million. It also calculates its margin of safety to be 15% of its total revenue. What is the margin of safety ratio? Margin of safety ratio = (0.15 * 1,000,000) / 1,000,000 = 0.15

Meaning

The Margin Of Safety (MOS) is a measure that shows how much a stock's price can fall before its earnings become too expensive to justify owning the stock. In simpler terms, it represents a buffer zone between a company's current valuation and its ability to sustain itself in case of an economic downturn or other negative market conditions.
