The Profit Volume (PV) Ratio is the ratio of Contribution over Sales. It measures the Profitability of the firm and is one of the important ratios for computing profitabilty. The Contribution is the extra amount of sales over variable cost. Contribution is also Fixed cost plus profit.

Profit = Sales - Variable Cost - Fixed Cost.

Thus Contribution is:

Profit + Fixed Cost = Sales - Variable Cost.

Therefore PV Ratio = (Contribution/Sales)X100. (This as a percentage of sales)

What is pv ratio?

The PV ratio, or contribution margin ratio, is the proportion of a product's revenue that contributes towards covering fixed costs and generating profit. It is calculated by dividing the contribution margin per unit by the selling price per unit. A higher PV ratio indicates that a larger portion of each sale contributes towards covering fixed costs and generating profit.
