Break Even Calculator
Knowing your break-even point helps you understand how many products you need to sell to cover all your costs. Use this simple approach:
Break-Even Units = Fixed Costs / (Selling Price - Variable Cost Per Unit)
Your break-even point shows exactly how many sales you need before making profit.
Example:
You run an online store selling water bottles:
Monthly fixed costs: $3,000 (rent, software, salary)
Selling price per bottle: $30
Variable cost per bottle: $10 (product cost + shipping)
Break-Even = $3,000 / ($30 - $10) = 150 bottles
You need to sell 150 bottles per month to break even. That's just 5 bottles per day!
