How to use this tool

Enter fixed costs, variable cost per unit and selling price per unit. The calculator determines the contribution per unit, break-even quantity and break-even revenue. You can also enter a target profit to estimate the required sales volume.

Example

If fixed costs are $10,000, variable cost is $20 per unit and the selling price is $50, the contribution is $30 per unit and the break-even point is about 334 units.

Frequently asked questions

What is the break-even point?

It is the sales level where total revenue equals total costs, so there is neither a profit nor a loss.

What happens if the selling price is equal to the variable cost?

There is no contribution toward fixed costs, so a break-even quantity cannot be reached under the simple model.
