Calculation basis
From fixed costs to a sales target
Contribution per unit = selling price − variable cost. Break-even units = fixed costs ÷ contribution per unit. Target-profit units = (fixed costs + target profit) ÷ contribution per unit.
Calculation flow
Source & scope
Standard contribution-margin / break-even arithmetic; no external regulatory source is required.
Assumptions & limits
- Fixed costs are treated as monthly.
- Variable cost is treated per unit.
- If contribution per unit is zero or negative, break-even cannot be reached with the selected price/cost structure.
Why this tool is different
It converts a spreadsheet-style formula into a practical sales target and shows the economic logic behind it.
How it works
Know how many sales the business needs
Break-even turns a monthly cost structure into a concrete sales target. It is particularly useful for new products, service packages, shops and subscription-style businesses.
Why this tool exists
Once a business knows its break-even point, pricing and automation decisions become easier to quantify — exactly the kind of practical business intelligence we want this tool ecosystem to provide.

Frequently asked questions
What is break-even?
Break-even is the point where total contribution covers fixed costs and profit is zero.
What is contribution per unit?
It is selling price minus variable cost per unit.
What if variable cost is higher than selling price?
The model cannot reach break-even because each sale loses money before fixed costs are recovered.
