Contribution Pricing

Home » CMA Glossary Term » Cost Accounting » Contribution Pricing

Contribution pricing is a cost accounting method where the selling price of a product is determined by adding a desired contribution margin to the variable costs. This approach helps in assessing the profitability of individual products by focusing on the contribution each unit makes towards covering fixed costs and generating profit. Contribution pricing is particularly useful in decision-making processes such as pricing strategies and product line evaluations.
