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
Fixed $5,000, price $25, variable $10
334 units, revenue $8,350.00
How it works
Every unit you sell contributes its price minus its variable cost towards your fixed costs. The break-even point is the number of units where those contributions add up to the fixed costs.
Fixed costs 5,000, price 25, variable cost 10 Contribution per unit 25 − 10 = 15 Break-even units 5,000 ÷ 15 = 333.33, so 334 Revenue at that point 334 × 25 = 8,350
Units are rounded up, because you cannot sell part of a unit. Enter fixed costs for the same period you want the answer for, such as one month. The calculation assumes one product with one price; if the price is not above the variable cost, break-even is never reached and the tool says so.

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.
