Free break-even calculator. Enter fixed costs, price and variable cost per unit to find how many units you must sell to cover costs and start making profit.
Enter your values and select Calculate to see the result.
The break-even point is the number of units you must sell before revenue covers all your costs. It turns the question of whether an idea is viable into a concrete sales target.
Enter your fixed costs, the price per unit and the variable cost per unit. The calculator divides fixed costs by the contribution margin and rounds up to a whole unit. If the price does not exceed the variable cost, there is no break-even point, because every sale loses money.
fixed costs ÷ (price per unit − variable cost)
$10,000 fixed costs with a $50 contribution margin breaks even at 200 units.

It is the number of units you must sell for revenue to equal total costs. After that, each extra unit adds profit.
Divide fixed costs by the contribution margin per unit, which is price per unit minus variable cost per unit. The result is rounded up to a whole unit.
Costs that do not change with volume, such as rent, salaries, software subscriptions and insurance. Variable costs, like materials and shipping, change with each unit sold.
If the price per unit is not higher than the variable cost, every sale loses money and you can never break even.
