Break-Even Point Calculator

Finding your break-even point

The break-even point is where total revenue exactly covers total costs — no profit, no loss. Each unit sold contributes its contribution margin (price minus variable cost) toward your fixed costs, so break-even units = fixed costs ÷ contribution margin.

To achieve a specific target profit, fixed costs must be added to that target before dividing by the margin:(Fixed Costs + Target Profit) ÷ Contribution Margin. By itemizing your costs and mapping revenues relative to variables on an intersection chart, pricing structures can be easily optimized client-side.
