Contribution Margin Ratio

The contribution margin ratio is the percentage of each sales dollar that contributes to covering fixed costs after variable costs are deducted. It’s calculated by dividing the contribution margin by sales revenue. A higher ratio indicates that a business is more efficient in generating profit from sales.
