Break-Even Calculator

Find out how many units you must sell to cover your fixed costs.

Break-even units –
Break-even revenue –
Contribution margin per unit –

How to use it

Enter your total fixed costs (rent, salaries, software, etc.), the price you charge per unit, and the variable cost to make each unit (materials, shipping, fees). The tool instantly shows how many units you need to sell to cover everything, and the revenue that represents.

How the calculation works

First, the contribution margin is the price per unit minus the variable cost per unit. Then, break-even units are the fixed costs divided by that margin. Break-even revenue is the break-even units multiplied by the price per unit.

FAQ

Is my data saved? No. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere.

What if my variable cost is higher than my price? Then each unit loses money, so you can never break even. The tool shows a dash instead of a number.

Do I include taxes in the price? Use the price you actually receive after any fees or taxes are removed, so the margin reflects real cash.

What if I have no fixed costs? Then you break even at zero units, because there is nothing to cover.
