About the Break-Even Calculator – Break-Even Units
The break-even point is the number of units you must sell to cover all your costs, after which each extra unit adds to profit. Enter your fixed costs, the price per unit and the variable cost per unit.
The gap between price and variable cost is the contribution each unit makes towards fixed costs.
Break-even formula
Break-even units = Fixed costs ÷ (Price per unit − Variable cost per unit)
Things to keep in mind
- Lowering variable costs or raising the price brings break-even closer.
- Compare the result with the sales you realistically expect.
- If the price is not higher than the variable cost, you can never break even.
