How Break-Even Analysis Works

Break-Even Point (Units)

The number of units you must sell so total revenue equals total costs — the point where you neither profit nor lose money.

Break-Even Units = Fixed Costs / (Price − Variable Cost)

Contribution Margin

How much of each sale is left over to cover fixed costs, after variable costs are paid.

Contribution Margin = Price − Variable Cost

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate my break-even point for free?

Enter your fixed costs, price per unit, and variable cost per unit into the Break-Even Point Calculator — it instantly shows how many units you need to sell before you start making a profit, no signup required.

What is the break-even point formula?

Break-even units = Fixed Costs ÷ (Price per Unit − Variable Cost per Unit). The calculator does this math for you and also shows the break-even revenue.

What's the difference between break-even point and contribution margin?

Contribution margin is the amount each unit sold contributes toward covering fixed costs (price minus variable cost); break-even point is how many of those units you need before fixed costs are fully covered.
