sales-variable coste= contribution margin
Contribution margin ratio is overall total contribution margin while contribution margin ration per unit is the allocation of total production contribution margin to per unit basis.
Contribution margin per unit = Contribution margin / number of units of products Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Net sales The formula is different for both situations because contribution margin per unit calculates the contribution margin for one unit of product while contribution margin ratio calculates the contribution margin for total overall sales as overall sales may be included different mix of products with diff rent fixed and variable costs that's why both of these are calculated separately
Formula for calculating average Contribution margin Average contribution margin = total contribution margin / total number of units
contribution margin = sales - variable cost
Contribution margin per unit is the contribution which contribute by sales of one unit for the recovery of fixed cost after fulfiling the variable cost of product.
Contribution margin per unit is calculated by subtracting the variable cost of the item from the selling price of the item.

Contribution margin per unit is the contribution which contribute by sales of one unit for the recovery of fixed cost after fulfiling the variable cost of product.
Unit contribution margin is the per unit contribution by any unit sold towards recovering fixed cost and then achieving target profit.
Contribution margin ratio determines the percentage of variable cost in over all sales while contribution margin per unit tells the variable cost portion in per unit total cost or sales price.
Formula for Breakeven point: Breakeven point = Fixed Cost / Contribution margin ratio Contribution margin ratio = Sales / contribution margin Contribution margin = sales - variable cost
The contribution margin is the difference between the per-unit variable cost and the selling price per unit.
Formula for contribution margin ratio = Sales – Variable cost / Sales
