What is the Break-Even Point Calculator?

The break-even point is the sales volume at which total revenue exactly covers total costs — beyond it, each additional sale is profit.

How to use it

  1. 1 Enter your fixed costs.
  2. 2 Enter the price you charge per unit.
  3. 3 Enter the variable cost to produce one unit.

Worked examples

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between fixed and variable costs?

Fixed costs (rent, salaries) stay the same regardless of how much you sell. Variable costs (materials, shipping) scale with each unit produced or sold.
