gross margin; gross profit;

The experience of foreign informational-consulting services has proved that the Gross Margin principle (German Deckungsbeitrag) is effective.

Gross Margin = Market (commercial) Value of Produce – Variable Costs


Sachkosten: material costs

Bestaende : inventory OR stock
Bestandsaufbau : expansion of stock; stock development
Sonstige Ertraege : other income OR revenues

break-even contribution

break-even contribution would have been better than "contribution margin". The latter misses "Deckung". Is is only a contribution to profit, not a coverage of the costs of production, where break-even comes in.
