Business Break-Even Calculator
Business Break-Even Calculator
Estimate how many units you need to sell to break even based
on your fixed costs, variable costs and
selling price.
1. Costs & selling pricePer month / per unit
Rent, salaries, licences – costs that don’t change with volume (per month).
Cost that changes with each unit sold – materials, packaging, direct labour.
Average selling price per unit (after discounts).
2. Sales volume scenarioOptional but useful
Your realistic sales volume estimate for the same period as fixed costs.
Label only (for your own reference in the summary).
Please enter sensible values: fixed costs, variable cost and selling price must be non-negative, and price should be higher than variable cost.
💡 Formula used: Break-even units = Fixed costs ÷ (Price − Variable cost).

This is a simplified tool. It assumes one product with constant price and costs,
and doesn’t include tax or step-changes in fixed costs at higher volumes.
Use it as a guide to test if your pricing and volumes make sense.
