How to Use the Break Even Calculator

Enter your total fixed costs, selling price per unit, and variable cost per unit. The calculator estimates the number of units you need to sell to cover your costs.

Break Even Formula

Break-Even Units = Fixed Costs ÷ (Selling Price − Variable Cost)

Break-even analysis can help businesses understand how many products or services must be sold before they begin generating a profit.

Example

If fixed costs are $10,000, the selling price is $50 per unit, and the variable cost is $20 per unit, the business needs to sell approximately 334 units to break even.
