Break-Even Point Calculator

How many units you need to sell before you start turning a profit

Currency

Rent, salaries, software — costs that don't change with volume

Materials, shipping, payment fees — cost of making one more unit

How break-even is calculated

  • Contribution margin = price − variable cost — what each sale contributes to fixed costs
  • Break-even units = fixed costs / contribution margin
  • Break-even revenue = break-even units × price
  • Units for target profit = (fixed costs + target profit) / contribution margin
  • • Units are rounded up — you can't sell a fraction of a product
