Each sale contributes $20.00 toward fixed costs and profit. Units round up. Assumes a single product with constant prices and costs.

Formula: fixed costs ÷ (selling price − variable cost). Include packaging, transaction fees and fulfillment in variable costs when applicable. SBA formula reference.

HOW IT WORKS

Use the break-even calculator in seconds

Enter monthly fixed costs, your unit selling price and variable cost per sale. The calculator divides fixed costs by the contribution from each sale and rounds up to a whole unit. Add a target profit to see the sales needed beyond break-even. Use consistent currency and monthly costs. This single-product model assumes prices and costs stay constant; taxes and fees are included only when entered in your costs.

WORKED EXAMPLE

Break-Even Calculator: an example

With 500 in monthly fixed costs, a price of 30 and variable costs of 10, each sale contributes 20. Break-even is 25 sales; a target profit of 100 requires 30 sales.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Break-Even Calculator FAQ

How is break-even calculated?

Divide fixed costs by selling price minus variable cost per unit. Whole-unit sales round up so the calculated sales cover the costs.

What if my selling price is below my variable cost?

There is no break-even point in this model. Each additional sale loses money before fixed costs; adjust the price or variable costs.

Does selecting PKR or EUR convert my amounts?

No. It changes the display currency only. Enter all amounts in the same currency.
