Contribution margin = price − variable cost per unit

- Variable cost is what it costs to serve one more unit (hosting, support, payment fees).
- A positive contribution margin means each sale helps cover fixed costs.
- Margin % = contribution ÷ price — higher is better.
- If unit economics are negative, growth makes losses worse, not better.
