The contribution income statement, also known as the contribution margin income statement, measures costs based on the functional area or segment of a business. This is different from a traditional income statement, which does not distinguish between fixed- and variable-production and selling costs, and which considers the corporation as a whole rather than each segment individually.
Work out contribution margin ratio. Contribution margin ratio measures the percentage of sales that would increase net income. To calculate it, divide contribution margin by sales, either in total or per unit: Suppose a gadget selling for $100 per unit brings in $40 per unit of contribution margin.
