Break-Even Calculator

Find how many units you must sell to cover your costs. Nothing leaves your browser.

How it works

Contribution margin = price - variable cost. Break-even units = fixed costs / contribution margin, rounded up to a whole unit. Break-even revenue = units x price.

FAQ

What is the break-even point?

It is the number of units you must sell so that total revenue equals total costs. Beyond it, each extra unit adds profit.

How is it calculated?

Break-even units = fixed costs / (price per unit - variable cost per unit). The bottom part is the contribution margin per unit.

Why are units rounded up?

You cannot sell part of a unit, so the result is rounded up to the next whole unit to cover all costs.
