Margin / unit
Break-even units = fixed costs ÷ (price − variable cost). If margin per unit is zero or negative you can't break even at this price.
What is Break-Even?
The break-even point is where total revenue exactly covers total costs — no profit, no loss. Everything you sell beyond it is profit.
Break-even units = fixed costs ÷ (price − variable cost)
How to read your result
- Contribution margin (price − variable cost) is what each sale contributes to fixed costs.
- Higher fixed costs push your break-even point up.
- Raising price or cutting variable cost lowers the units you need to sell.
- Break-even revenue = break-even units × price.
Frequently asked questions
How do you calculate the break-even point?
Divide your total fixed costs by the contribution margin per unit (price minus variable cost). The result is the number of units you must sell to cover all costs.
