Break-Even Calculator

Calculate the break-even point (BEP). Enter fixed costs, selling price, and variable costs to find your break-even sales volume and revenue.

💡 Examples

  • • Coffee shop: $5,000 fixed costs, $5 per coffee, $2 variable cost → 1,667 cups to break even
  • • Higher contribution margin ratio means lower break-even point
  • • Reduce fixed costs or increase contribution margin to reach profitability faster

📖 How to Use

  1. Enter your monthly fixed costs (rent, salaries, etc.)
  2. Enter the selling price per unit
  3. Enter the variable cost per unit (materials, etc.)
  4. Optionally enter a target profit
  5. Click Calculate
  6. View your break-even units and revenue

📐 Formula

Break-Even Units = Fixed Costs ÷ (Price - Variable Cost)

💡 How It Works

  • •Break-Even Point (BEP) is where total revenue equals total costs, resulting in zero profit or loss.
  • •Contribution Margin = Price - Variable Cost. It's the amount that contributes to covering fixed costs.
  • •Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution Margin ÷ Price × 100. The percentage of each sale covering fixed costs.
  • •Beyond the break-even point, all additional sales contribute directly to profit.
  • •Lower your break-even point by reducing fixed costs or increasing contribution margin.
  • •Target Profit Units = (Fixed Costs + Target Profit) ÷ Contribution Margin

❓ FAQ

Q. What is the break-even point?

A. The point where revenue equals costs, with zero profit or loss. Beyond this point, you start making profit.

Q. What is contribution margin?

A. The selling price minus variable cost. It 'contributes' to covering fixed costs and generating profit.

Q. What's the difference between fixed and variable costs?

A. Fixed costs stay constant regardless of sales (rent, salaries). Variable costs change with sales volume (materials, packaging).

Q. How can I lower my break-even point?

A. Reduce fixed costs, increase selling price, or reduce variable costs to increase contribution margin.

Q. Why must price be greater than variable cost?

A. If price ≤ variable cost, you lose money on every sale. With zero or negative contribution margin, break-even is impossible.
