What Is the Break-Even Point?

Your break-even point is the exact number of units you need to sell to cover all your costs — no profit, no loss. Every sale after that point is pure profit. It’s calculated by dividing your fixed costs (rent, salaries, insurance — costs that don’t change with sales) by your contribution margin (selling price minus variable cost per unit).

Understanding your break-even point helps you set realistic sales targets, evaluate pricing changes, and know how much cushion you have before you start losing money.

Disclaimer: This calculator provides a simplified break-even analysis based on a single product with uniform pricing. Real-world scenarios may involve multiple products, tiered pricing, semi-variable costs, and seasonal fluctuations. Use this as a planning tool — not a financial forecast.
