Break-Even Calculator

Find how many units cover fixed costs at a given price and variable cost.

Units to break even

How it works

Each unit contributes price minus variable cost; fixed costs divided by that contribution give the units needed before profit starts.

Example

With $48,000 of fixed costs and $44.00 of contribution per unit, break-even is 1091 units, or $81,818.18 of revenue.
