What Is Contribution Margin?

Contribution margin measures how much revenue remains after variable costs. That remaining amount can contribute toward fixed costs and profit.

How to Calculate Contribution Margin

Contribution Margin = Revenue − Variable Costs

For example, $100,000 of revenue and $40,000 of variable costs produces a $60,000 contribution margin, or 60%.
