Frequently Asked Questions
What is a break-even point?
Your break-even point is the exact moment when your total revenue equals your total costs. At this point, your business is neither making a profit nor losing money. Any sales beyond this point are pure profit.
How do you calculate break-even units?
To calculate the number of units you need to sell to break even, divide your Fixed Costs by your Contribution Margin (Sale Price minus Variable Cost). Formula: Break-Even Units = Fixed Costs ÷ (Sale Price - Variable Cost).
What is the difference between fixed and variable costs?
Fixed costs stay the same regardless of how much you sell (e.g., rent, insurance, software subscriptions). Variable costs increase with every unit you sell (e.g., raw materials, packaging, shipping, payment fees).
