About the Break-even Calculator

A break-even calculator that shows how many units, and how much revenue, you need before fixed and variable costs are covered.

How to use the Break-even Calculator

  1. Enter the fixed costs for the period.
  2. Enter the price and the variable cost of one unit.
  3. Read the break-even units and the break-even revenue.

What to check

The price must be higher than the variable cost of one unit, or there is no break-even point.

What is a break-even point?

It is the sales level where total revenue equals total costs, before any profit.

Can I use this for a service business?

Yes. Treat one billable job or one subscription as the unit.
