Frequently asked questions
- What is the break-even point?
- The break-even point is the number of units you need to sell for total revenue to exactly cover total costs — the point where you stop making a loss and start making a profit.
- How is the break-even point calculated?
- Break-even units = fixed costs ÷ contribution margin per unit, where contribution margin = price per unit − variable cost per unit. Multiply break-even units by price to get break-even revenue.
- What if my price is lower than my cost per unit?
- Then every sale loses money and there is no break-even point. You need to raise your price, lower your variable cost per unit, or both before the business can become profitable.
