What Is a Break-Even Calculator?
This tool calculates how many units you need to sell (and at what revenue) to cover your fixed and variable costs - the point where you neither profit nor lose money.
Calculate your break-even point in units and revenue.
This tool calculates how many units you need to sell (and at what revenue) to cover your fixed and variable costs - the point where you neither profit nor lose money.
Useful for business planning, pricing decisions, and understanding minimum sales targets.
Input your total fixed costs (rent, salaries, etc.).
Input what you sell each unit for.
Input the cost to produce/deliver each unit.
Units and revenue needed update automatically.
Break-Even Units = Fixed Costs ÷ (Price per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit)
Fixed costs don't change with sales volume (rent, salaries); variable costs scale directly with each unit produced or sold.
It's Price per Unit minus Variable Cost per Unit - the amount each sale contributes toward covering fixed costs.
You'll never break even - you lose money on every unit sold, so this scenario requires a business model change.
Yes, though 'units' might represent hours, clients, or projects depending on your business model.
No, this is a basic operational break-even calculation before tax considerations.
Multiply break-even units by price per unit.
Yes, as costs and pricing change, recalculating helps you stay aware of your current break-even point.
