🟰 Break-Even Calculator

How many units must you sell before your business stops losing money? Enter your fixed costs, the selling price per unit and the variable cost per unit to find your break-even point in units and in revenue.

How to use the Break-Even Calculator

  1. Enter your total fixed costs (rent, salaries, bills — costs that stay the same whether you sell or not).
  2. Enter the selling price of one unit and the variable cost of one unit (materials, packaging, delivery).
  3. Press Calculate — the units you must sell to break even appear below.
Example: With fixed costs of Rs 1,00,000, a selling price of Rs 500 and a variable cost of Rs 300 per unit, you must sell 500 units — Rs 2,50,000 of revenue — to break even.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the break-even point?

The sales level at which total revenue exactly covers total costs — no profit, no loss. Every unit sold beyond it adds profit.

Why must the price be above the variable cost?

Each sale first has to pay its own variable cost. If the price does not even cover that, every extra sale increases the loss and break-even is impossible.

Are the units rounded?

Yes — units are rounded UP to the next whole unit, because you cannot sell a fraction of a unit and rounding down would leave you just short of covering your costs.
