The contextual fraction introduced by Abramsky and Brandenburger defines a quantitative measure of contextuality associated with empirical models, i.e. tables of probabilities of measurement outcomes in experimental scenarios. In this paper we define an entanglement monotone relying on the contextual fraction. We first show that any separable state is necessarily non-contextual with respect to any Bell scenario. Then, for 2-qubit states, we associate a state-dependent Bell scenario and show that the corresponding contextual fraction is an entanglement monotone, suggesting contextuality may be regarded as a refinement of entanglement. We call this monotone the quarter-turn contextual fraction (QTCF), and use it to set an upper bound of approximately 0.601 for the minimum entanglement entropy needed to guarantee contextuality with respect to some Bell scenario.
