About the Break-Even Calculator

The break-even point is where sales exactly cover costs. Enter fixed costs (rent, salaries), the variable cost per unit and the selling price to see how many units and how much revenue you need.

Formula

Break-even units = fixed costs ÷ (price − variable cost per unit).

Tip

Use it before launching a product or opening a shop to check whether your price and cost structure are realistic.
