Break-Even Calculator calculates break-even units as Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution Margin (where CM = Price − Variable Cost), shows profit/loss scenarios at different sales volumes, and computes target units needed for any profit goal.
Find exactly how many units you need to sell to cover costs, plan for profit, and price your products correctly.
Enter fixed costs, variable cost per unit, and selling price.
See your break-even units, revenue, and contribution margin.
Use Target Profit tab to calculate units needed for a specific profit.
Break-even units = Fixed Costs ÷ (Price − Variable Cost per unit). Contribution margin ratio = CM ÷ Price. Break-even revenue = BEP units × Price. Target profit units = (Fixed Costs + Target Profit) ÷ CM. Markup/margin conversion: margin = markup / (1 + markup).
The point where total revenue equals total costs — neither profit nor loss.
Selling price minus variable cost per unit. It shows how much each sale contributes to covering fixed costs.
