How it is calculated
- Contribution = revenue − direct costs (those that would disappear if you dropped that product or customer).
- Allocated overheads = overheads × weight (by sales or equally).
- Result = contribution − allocated overheads.
Assumptions
- Allocating overheads is a convention: it changes each line's result, but not the total or the contribution.
- A line with positive contribution helps pay overheads even if its result is negative.
