How do you calculate the contribution margin for a particular product?

Answer 1

To calculate net profit for a venture (such as a company, division, or project), subtract all costs, including a fair share of total corporate overheads, from the gross revenues or turnover.

Net profit ($) = Sales revenue ($) - Total costs ($). This is the simplest definition of profit. Another common way of counting profit is EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization). This measure of profit is valuable for two reasons. It effectively isolates operating profits and it offers investors and analysts the ability to compare the performance of business with disimilar capitalization and tax structures.

Answer 2

The unit contribution margin is calculated by deducting the unit variable costs from the unit selling price: $12.00 - $8.00 = $4.00

USP - UVC = UCM Selling price per unit 12.00

Variable cost per unit 8.00

--------

Unit contribution margin 4.00

Answer 3

Contribution Margin (CM) = Selling Price - Variable Costs

Answer 4

Formula for calculating contribution margin is as follows:

Contribution margin per unit = Sales price per unit - Variable Cost per unit.

Answer 5

contribution margin ratio = sales - variable cost / sales
