Break-even Calculator

What is the break-even calculator?

Break-even analysis answers one question: at what point does a product or a month stop losing money? Enter your fixed costs (software, rent, salaries, a campaign budget) plus the price and variable cost of a unit, and this tool returns the number of units and the revenue required before the first pound of profit appears. It is the fastest sanity check on a new product line or a paid campaign.

2. 2Press Calculate. Results update instantly, so you can change a number and compare.
3. 3Read the break-even units and break-even revenue first — those are the numbers that decide the call.
4. 4Save the result to your account if you want to come back to it later.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a fixed cost?

Anything that does not change with the number of units sold in the period: subscriptions, salaries, rent, agency retainers and one-off design work.

Why does it say 0 units?

If your variable cost is equal to or higher than your price, contribution is zero or negative and no volume will ever cover fixed costs. Raise price or lower unit cost.
