Break-even calculator
How many units you need to sell each month to cover fixed costs.
A planning estimate. Real businesses have costs that step up with volume.
How this calculator works
Break-even units = fixed costs ÷ (price − variable cost per unit). The bit in brackets is the contribution each sale makes towards fixed costs.
Worked example: $6,000 of monthly fixed costs, a $25 price and $10 variable cost give a $15 contribution, so you break even at 400 units, or $10,000 in sales. Every sale after that adds $15 of profit.
