Break-Even Point Calculator

This tool helps you estimate the minimum monthly unit volume needed to cover fixed and variable costs. It is useful for pricing, sales targets, and launch planning.

Break-Even Formula

Break-even units = fixed costs ÷ contribution margin per unit. Contribution margin per unit = selling price per unit − variable cost per unit.

What Contribution Margin Tells You

Contribution margin shows how much each sale contributes toward fixed costs and profit. If it is too low, even high sales volumes may struggle to produce profit.

How to Use Margin of Safety

Margin of safety measures how far your current sales are above break-even. A larger margin of safety usually means lower operating risk.
