Common questions
How is break-even calculated?
Fixed costs divided by contribution margin per unit, where contribution margin is price minus variable cost per unit. The result is the number of units where total profit is exactly zero.
What's the difference between fixed and variable costs?
Fixed costs don't change with volume — rent, salaries, software. Variable costs scale with each unit sold — materials, shipping, payment fees. Miscategorising one is the most common reason a break-even number comes out wrong.
Can I break even on revenue rather than units?
Yes — multiply the break-even unit count by your price, or divide fixed costs by contribution margin expressed as a percentage. Both are shown in the template.
