Break-Even Point Calculator

Enter your fixed costs, price and variable cost per unit to see exactly how many units you need to sell to break even.

Price per unit is not greater than variable cost per unit, so there is no break-even point — every unit sold loses money.

FAQ

What is the break-even point?

It's the sales volume, in units or revenue, at which total revenue equals total costs, so you're neither making nor losing money.

What is contribution margin?

The amount each unit sold contributes toward covering fixed costs after variable costs are paid, calculated as price minus variable cost per unit.

What happens if variable cost is higher than price?

Each unit loses money, so there is no break-even point, fixed costs can never be covered no matter how many units you sell.
