What is Break-Even Analysis?

Break-even analysis is a financial calculation that determines the point at which total revenue equals total costs, resulting in neither profit nor loss. It helps businesses understand the minimum sales volume needed to cover all expenses.

Our calculator computes both the break-even point in units and revenue, along with contribution margin analysis to help you make informed business decisions.

Break-Even Formula

Break-Even Point (Units) = Fixed Costs ÷ (Price per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit)
Break-Even Point (Revenue) = Break-Even Units × Price per Unit
Contribution Margin = Price per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit

Frequently Asked Questions

What are fixed costs?

Fixed costs are expenses that remain constant regardless of production volume, such as rent, salaries, insurance, and equipment depreciation.

What are variable costs?

Variable costs change directly with production volume, including raw materials, direct labor, packaging, and shipping costs.

How can I reduce my break-even point?

Reduce fixed costs, lower variable costs per unit, increase selling price, or improve product mix to focus on higher-margin items.
