How to use

Break-even is where total revenue equals total cost. Below it you lose money; above it you profit. Essential for pricing and planning.

Formula

Units = Fixed / (Price − Variable)   Revenue = Price × Units

FAQ

What counts as fixed cost?

Rent, salaries, software — anything flat regardless of volume.

Why must price exceed variable cost?

Otherwise every sale loses money and you never break even.
