Break-Even Point Calculator
The Break-Even Point Calculator tells you exactly how many units of a product you need to sell before your business starts turning a profit, based on your fixed costs and the profit margin on each unit.
It's a quick way to sanity-check pricing decisions or a new product idea before committing to it.
How to Use the Break-Even Point Calculator
- Open the Break-Even Point Calculator.
- Enter your total fixed costs (rent, salaries, etc.).
- Enter the price you charge per unit.
- Enter the variable cost to produce each unit.
- Read the number of units and revenue needed to break even.
Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a fixed cost vs. a variable cost?
Fixed costs stay the same regardless of how much you sell (like rent), while variable costs scale with each unit produced or sold (like raw materials).
What if my price is lower than my variable cost?
Then you lose money on every unit sold and can never break even -- the calculator will flag this so you can adjust your pricing or costs.
Does this account for taxes?
No, this is a simple contribution-margin break-even calculation before taxes and other overhead not included in your fixed costs.
