Questions

Break-even Calculator FAQ

What is a break-even point?
The break-even point is the sales volume where your total revenue exactly equals your total costs, meaning you make no profit but also incur no loss. It shows the minimum performance needed to cover all expenses.
What costs do I need to enter?
You need to enter your fixed costs (rent, salaries, insurance that stay the same regardless of sales), variable costs per unit (materials, shipping that change with each sale), and your price per unit (what you charge customers).
Can I use this if I sell services instead of products?
Yes. Fixed costs might include your monthly overhead, variable costs could be hourly labor or materials, and price per unit is your service rate. The calculator works the same way regardless of what you sell.
Does the calculator tell me how much profit I'll make?
No. It only finds the point where revenue equals costs. To see profit, you would need to input sales volumes above the break-even point and subtract all costs from the revenue.
Is the result affected by taxes or fees?
No. The calculator uses the numbers you provide. If you want the result to include taxes or payment processing fees, enter those as part of your fixed or variable costs.
