Contribution margin :

Contribution margin shows the total amount of revenue after covering fixed costs and deducting variable costs to make the business profitable," says Knight. This can be thought of as a portion of sales that helps offset fixed costs. Contribution margin (CM) or dollar contribution per unit is the selling price per unit minus the variable cost per unit. "Contribution" represents the portion of sales that is not consumed by variable costs and contributes to covering fixed costs.
