What profit margin is allowed for a nonprofit organization before it loses its status?

Technically, nonprofits do not generate a profit, rather a "surplus," i.e., any revenues brought in beyond what is required to meet costs. This surplus, by law governing the nonprofit status, must be "re-invested" into the nonprofit for purposes of furthering the nonprofit's mission and goals. This contrasts with for profit enterprises whose profits may be re-invested but can also be distributed to investors or shareholders (for publically traded companies). There is no limit to the surplus a nonprofit may generate and reinvest into its mission.
