Break-Even Analysis Calculator
The Break-Even Calculator tells you exactly how many units you need to sell — and at what revenue — to cover all costs. Below that point you lose money; above it, you start earning profit.
Formulas
- Contribution margin = Selling price − Variable cost per unit
- Break-even units = Fixed costs ÷ Contribution margin
- Break-even revenue = Break-even units × Selling price
- Margin of safety = (Expected − Break-even) ÷ Expected × 100
How to use it
Plug in your monthly fixed costs (rent, salaries, software), your selling price, and the cost of producing or delivering one unit. Try different price points to see how lowering the price affects the units you need to move.
