Units needed = ceil((fixed costs + target profit) ÷ (price − variable cost)). Break-even revenue = fixed costs ÷ contribution margin ratio. The chart shows where revenue and total costs cross.
FAQ
What is the break-even point?
The unit break-even point is fixed costs divided by contribution per unit. Revenue break-even is fixed costs divided by the contribution margin ratio.
What is target profit mode?
Enter a profit goal and see how many units you must sell beyond plain break-even.
Why is my result blank?
If price ≤ variable cost, contribution margin is zero or negative — raise price or cut variable costs.
