Contribution margin is the amount remaining from sales revenue once all variable costs have been removed
ie. Contribution Margin = Sales Revenue - Variable Costs
Segment margin is the margin available after a segment has covered all of its costs. It's one of the best ways to determine the long-term profitability of a segment.
ie. Segment Margin = Segment's Contribution Margin - Fixed Costs traced to the Segment
Contribution margin means how much any unit of product contribute towards fixed cost covering while segment margin means how much a single segment of market or product contribute towards the overall company's profit or earnings.
Contribution margin ratio is overall total contribution margin while contribution margin ration per unit is the allocation of total production contribution margin to per unit basis.
Formula for calculating average Contribution margin Average contribution margin = total contribution margin / total number of units
Contribution margin for per machine hour is as follows:total contribution margin / number of machine hours = contribution margin per hour
Contribution margin per unit = Contribution margin / number of units of products Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Net sales The formula is different for both situations because contribution margin per unit calculates the contribution margin for one unit of product while contribution margin ratio calculates the contribution margin for total overall sales as overall sales may be included different mix of products with diff rent fixed and variable costs that's why both of these are calculated separately

Formula for Breakeven point: Breakeven point = Fixed Cost / Contribution margin ratio Contribution margin ratio = Sales / contribution margin Contribution margin = sales - variable cost
The contribution margin ratio increases when?
sales-variable coste= contribution margin
contribution margin = sales - variable cost
Contribution margin pricing means to follow the contribution margin costing process to allocate price to units or production units.
Formula for contribution margin ratio = Sales
Contribution Margin = Sales - Variable Cost Sales Less:Variable Cost Contribution Margin Less:Fixed Cost Net profit(Loss)
