Find out exactly how many sales you need to cover all your costs and start making profit. See it on a chart.
Knowing your break-even point tells you exactly how many sales or months it takes before your business starts making money. This calculator factors in fixed costs, variable costs, and pricing to give you a clear target — so you can plan with confidence instead of guessing.
At your expected sales rate, how long until cumulative profit covers fixed costs?
Same fixed and variable costs. See how pricing changes your break-even.
Break-even point is the number of units you need to sell so that total revenue equals total costs. Below this point you're losing money; above it, you're profitable.
The formula: Break-Even Units = Fixed Costs ÷ (Price per Unit − Variable Cost per Unit)
Contribution margin is the amount each sale contributes toward covering fixed costs: Price minus Variable Cost. The higher your contribution margin, the fewer sales you need to break even.
Why it matters: Break-even analysis tells you the minimum viable sales target. If you can't realistically hit that number, you need to raise prices, cut costs, or rethink the business model.
