About the Break-Even Sales Calculator
Find how many units you must sell to cover your costs, and how many to reach a profit target.
How to use the Break-Even Sales Calculator
- Enter the Fixed Costs ($), Price Per Unit ($) and Variable Cost Per Unit ($).
- Optionally enter a Target Profit ($).
- Press Calculate Break-Even Point.
Formula and method
Break-even units = fixed costs ÷ (price − variable cost). With a profit target: (fixed costs + target) ÷ contribution margin.
Worked example
Fixed costs of $10,000, a price of $50 and variable costs of $30 give a contribution of $20, so you must sell 500 units.
Tips
- Raising the price or cutting variable costs lowers the break-even point.
