About This Tool
Break-Even Point Calculator shows how many units must be sold to cover fixed costs, based on price per unit and variable cost per unit.
Formula used: Break-Even Units = Fixed Costs ÷ (Price Per Unit − Variable Cost Per Unit). Break-Even Revenue = Break-Even Units x Price Per Unit.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if fixed costs are zero?
The break-even point becomes zero units, since there's nothing to cover.
What happens if price equals variable cost?
You can never break even in that case, since each unit sold doesn't contribute toward fixed costs.
