Figure it out yourself. You should know your own value in a profit center; it gives you a lot of ability to either negotiate raises or describe your value to others if seeking employment elsewhere. Or alternatively, it gives you data to describe your successes when trying to get someone to fund your next venture.

Do you have any advice on how I can go about figuring this out? I have a feeling it's not a black and white thing. EG: That module I wrote may have made sales easier, but not impossible.

The two that come to mind:

- My company sells products that I design, market, sell, or build

- My company bills third parties for my services

Anything else and you're probably working a support function for a business that is selling something that is not your work. The people who make the products or services that are being sold are profit centers, the rest of the company are cost centers.
