Why does marginal costing profit differ from absorption costing profit?
Absorption costing carries a share of fixed overhead in unsold inventory, deferring it to a future period, while marginal costing charges all fixed costs against the current period — the two only match when inventory levels are unchanged.

Wszystko o Marginal Costing Statement
📋Prezentacja+
Marginal costing separates costs by behaviour rather than by function: variable costs are deducted from sales to give total contribution, and fixed costs are then deducted in one block to give net profit. Unlike absorption costing, no fixed overhead is carried in inventory, so the statement shows directly how much each unit sold contributes and how sensitive profit is to volume.
💡 Dobre praktyki
- Marginal costing profit only differs from absorption costing profit when opening and closing inventory levels change during the period.
- A high contribution margin ratio means profit is highly sensitive to sales volume — useful for short-term pricing and special-order decisions.
- Marginal costing statements are the basis for break-even and CVP (cost-volume-profit) analysis.
🔢 Konkretny przykład
4,000 units sold at £30, £18 variable cost per unit, £30,000 fixed costs: £120,000 total contribution and £90,000 net profit.

FAQ — Marginal Costing Statement
Why does marginal costing profit differ from absorption costing profit?+
Absorption costing carries a share of fixed overhead in unsold inventory, deferring it to a future period, while marginal costing charges all fixed costs against the current period — the two only match when inventory levels are unchanged.
Is marginal costing acceptable for external financial reporting?+
No — UK GAAP and IFRS require absorption costing (full costing) for inventory valuation in statutory accounts; marginal costing is a management accounting tool for internal decisions.
