He's got it figured out

What does "He's got it figured out" mean?

Would you please give me a couple of examples of how to use this expression?

By the way, is it an expression?

Thank you.

It is not in itself a fixed expression but is constructed from elements in a regular way. To "figure out" means to come to understand (something), or to find a solution (to something). "He's got" is an informal way of saying "He has".
