Calculate a break-even point
Calculate how many units you need to sell to cover fixed costs, from your price per unit, variable cost, and fixed costs.
Rent, salaries, and other costs that don't change with sales volume.
What you sell each unit for, and what it costs you to produce or deliver one.
How many units you need to sell to cover fixed costs, and the revenue that represents.
Frequently asked
What is the break-even point?
The number of units you need to sell so that total revenue exactly covers total costs (fixed plus variable), with zero profit or loss. Selling beyond that point is where profit starts.
What is contribution margin?
The amount each unit sold contributes toward covering fixed costs, after subtracting its variable cost: price per unit minus variable cost per unit. The contribution margin ratio expresses that as a percentage of price.
What if my variable cost is higher than my price?
Then you lose money on every unit sold, no volume can offset that, and the tool will flag it as an error instead of a break-even number. Raise the price or cut the variable cost first.
Is this financial or tax advice?
No. This is a general estimate for planning purposes only, not financial, investment, or tax advice. Rates and figures can change. Confirm current numbers with a qualified professional before making decisions.
