Profit versus revenue
Revenue per employee shows sales output. Profit per employee subtracts the costs represented in net profit, so it can be negative when the business is losing money.
A planning comparison
Use the same period and employee definition for both metrics. Changes may reflect pricing, costs, staffing mix, or revenue—not just headcount.
Worked example
$240,000 net profit divided by 12 employees equals $20,000 profit per employee.
