Break-even
CopiedAbout this break-even calculator
Fixed costs, price per unit, and variable cost per unit. The page estimates how many units you need to sell before contribution margin covers fixed cost.
Break-even units = fixed ÷ (price − variable), when price > variable. If price does not beat variable cost, there is no finite break-even and the page says so.
This is a single-product classroom model. It ignores taxes, inventory timing, multi-product mix, and declining prices. Use it for a rough planning check, not a business plan.
How is break-even calculated?
Fixed cost plus any target profit, divided by price minus variable cost per unit. That is how many units you need. We round up to a whole unit.
What if price is not higher than variable cost?
You cannot break even. Raise the price or cut the variable cost.
