Break-even Calculator Guide

The break-even calculator determines how many units you need to sell before your business starts generating profit.

Break-even Formula:

Break-even Units = Fixed Costs / (Selling Price − Variable Cost per Unit)

Understanding Break-even Analysis

  • Fixed Costs: Costs that don’t change with volume (rent, salaries, insurance)
  • Variable Costs: Costs that scale with production (materials, shipping, payment fees)
  • Contribution Margin: Selling Price − Variable Cost = amount each unit contributes to covering fixed costs

Why It Matters

Knowing your break-even point is essential for:

  • Validating that your pricing is sustainable
  • Setting realistic sales targets
  • Evaluating new product launches
  • Understanding minimum viable volume before profitability

Enter your fixed costs, variable costs, and selling price to instantly calculate your break-even point in units, revenue, and time.
