Calculate the quantity you need to sell to cover all your business costs.
The Break-Even Calculator determines exactly how many units you need to sell — or how much revenue you need to generate — before your business covers all its costs and starts making a profit. The break-even point is a fundamental concept in business planning: it is the sales volume at which total revenue equals total costs (fixed plus variable), meaning neither a profit nor a loss is made. Fixed costs are expenses that don't change with output, like rent, salaries, and software subscriptions. Variable costs change with each unit produced or sold, like raw materials and shipping. Enter these three figures — fixed costs, variable cost per unit, and selling price per unit — and the calculator instantly shows the break-even quantity and the revenue target, along with a visual profit/loss chart.
Enter your total fixed costs, the variable cost per unit, and your selling price per unit. The break-even unit quantity and revenue figure appear instantly. Try adjusting the price or variable cost to model different scenarios and find the most profitable configuration.
