What is contribution margin?
A gross or per-unit basis can be used to express the contribution margin. It represents the additional revenue made for each product or unit sold after the variable part of the business's costs have been subtracted. The selling price per unit less the variable cost per unit equals the contribution margin. The metric, also known as cents contribution per unit, shows how a specific product affects the company's overall profit. It offers a means of demonstrating the potential for profit of a specific product being offered by a business and displays the percentage of sales that goes toward paying the business' fixed costs. Profit is the amount that remains after fixed expenses have been paid.

Contribution margin = 78,000 x 63%
                                 = 49,140
Net operating income = contribution margin - fixed cost
                                     = 49,140 - 23,000
                                     = 26,140
