Break-even Calculator

Calculate break-even units, contribution margin, and units needed for a target profit.

이 도구에 대해

Calculate how many units you need to sell to break even and how much volume is required to hit a target profit.

Break-even Calculator is meant for simple business planning when you need to know how many units must sell before the business stops losing money. It turns fixed costs, price, and variable cost into a contribution-margin view that is easier to act on.

  • Calculates contribution margin from selling price and variable cost.
  • Shows break-even units and approximate break-even revenue.
  • Adds a target-profit scenario to support simple planning.

사용 방법 Break-even Calculator

Enter fixed costs, price per unit, variable cost per unit, and any target profit, then review the contribution margin, break-even units, and target-profit volume. If the units feel unrealistic, change price or variable cost one at a time so you can see which lever matters more.

When this tool is useful

  • Estimate the sales volume needed to recover fixed costs on a product or service offer.
  • Compare pricing scenarios before launching a new package or subscription tier.
  • Calculate units needed not just to break even, but to reach a specific profit target.

Practical tips

  • If the contribution margin is too small, break-even volume rises fast, so check pricing and variable costs together.
  • Treat service packages as units if that matches how you sell work commercially.
  • Pair this with the tax calculator if quoted prices need tax added or removed before planning.

Frequently asked questions

What is contribution margin?

Contribution margin is the amount left per unit after variable cost is subtracted from selling price.

Can I use this for services too?

Yes. Treat each service sale or package as one unit if that matches your pricing model.

What is the contribution margin and why does it matter?

Contribution margin is the selling price minus the variable cost per unit. It represents how much each unit sold contributes toward covering fixed costs and generating profit.

Can I calculate how many units I need to reach a specific profit target?

Yes. Enter your target profit amount and the calculator adds it to the fixed costs, then divides by the contribution margin to show the required unit volume.

Does the calculator handle multiple products with different margins?

The tool calculates break-even for a single product or a blended average. For multi-product analysis, use a weighted average price and variable cost as inputs.
