Break-Even Calculator

Enter your fixed costs, price per unit and variable cost per unit to find your break-even point — the number of units you need to sell to cover all costs — plus the revenue you'll generate at that point. Essential for pricing and planning, calculated client-side.

Examples

Input · 5000 ÷ (25 − 10) = 333.33, rounded up to 334
Fixed $5,000, price $25, variable $10
Output
334 units, revenue $8,350.00

Frequently asked questions

It's the number of units you need to sell so total revenue equals total costs — beyond it you start making a profit. It equals fixed costs ÷ (price − variable cost).

If the price per unit is not above the variable cost, every sale loses money and fixed costs can never be covered, so a break-even point doesn't exist.
