Frequently Asked Questions

How is the break-even point calculated?

Break-even units = Fixed Costs / (Price per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit). The denominator is called the contribution margin per unit — the amount each sale contributes toward covering fixed costs.

What if my selling price is lower than my variable cost?

Then break-even is mathematically impossible at that price — every unit you sell loses money before fixed costs are even considered. You'd need to raise price or cut variable cost per unit.

What counts as a fixed cost vs a variable cost?

Fixed costs don't change with sales volume — rent, salaries, insurance. Variable costs scale with each unit sold — raw materials, packaging, per-unit shipping or commission.

Does this work for service businesses, not just products?

Yes — treat each billable hour, session or client as a "unit" with its own price and variable cost, and the same formula applies.

Is this calculator free to use?

Yes, completely free with no sign-up or limits, and it works in any currency.
