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 Breakeven point: Breakeven point = Fixed Cost / Contribution margin ratio Contribution margin ratio = Sales / contribution margin Contribution margin = sales - variable cost
Break even point = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio Contribution margin ratio = (sales - variable cost ) / Sales
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
Breakeven point = fixed cost/contribution margin ratio350000 = 105000/ contribution margin ratioContribution margin ratio = 105000/350000Contribution margin ratio = 0.3 or 30 %
The contribution margin ratio increases when?
contribution margin ratio = (sales - variable costs) / Sales
sales-variable cost= contribution
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 contribution margin ratio = Sales

The contribution margin ratio is the percentage of a company's contribution margin to its net sales
Breakeven point = fixed cost/contribution margin ratio350000 = 105000/ contribution margin ratioContribution margin ratio = 105000/350000Contribution margin ratio = 0.3 or 30 %
Formula for contribution margin ratio = Sales – Variable cost / Sales
Contribution margin ratio determines the percentage of variable cost in over all sales while contribution margin per unit tells the variable cost portion in per unit total cost or sales price.
