Your numbers

$

Total fixed costs for the period (rent, salaries, tools).

$

Selling price of one unit.

$

Cost that scales with each unit sold.

Break-even units

833

Units you must sell to cover all costs. Below this you lose money; above it, every unit is profit.

Break-even revenue

$16,666.67

Sales revenue at the break-even point β€” units times price.

Contribution margin / unit

$12

Price minus variable cost β€” what each unit contributes toward fixed costs.

How it works

1

Enter fixed costs

Add up rent, salaries and other costs that don't change with volume.

2

Add unit price

Enter what you charge for a single unit.

3

Add variable cost

Enter the per-unit cost that scales with each sale.

4

Read your break-even

How do you calculate the break even point?

The break even point is where total revenue exactly covers total costs, so profit is zero. To find it you divide your fixed costs by the contribution margin per unit β€” the price of one unit minus its variable cost. That margin is the amount each sale contributes toward paying off your fixed costs; once enough units have sold to cover them, every additional unit becomes profit. This calculator does the math instantly and also shows the revenue you'll book at that point.

Break-even analysis is the fastest way to sanity-check pricing, a launch, or a new feature before you commit. If the break-even volume looks unrealistic, you have three levers: raise the price, cut the variable cost per unit, or reduce fixed costs. For app makers, raising conversion has the same effect as lowering the units needed β€” more installs from the same spend means you reach break-even sooner, which is exactly what stronger screenshots deliver.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate the break even point?
Divide fixed costs by the contribution margin per unit (price βˆ’ variable cost). For example, $10,000 fixed costs Γ· ($20 βˆ’ $8) = 834 units. This calculator does it instantly and also shows break-even revenue.
What is contribution margin?
Contribution margin per unit is the selling price minus the variable cost of one unit. It's the money each sale contributes toward covering fixed costs, and after break-even, straight to profit.
What is the break even formula?
Break-even units = fixed costs Γ· (price per unit βˆ’ variable cost per unit). Multiply that by price to get break-even revenue. If variable cost is above price, there's no break-even point at any volume.
How can I lower my break even point?
Raise your price, cut variable cost per unit, or reduce fixed costs β€” each shrinks the units needed. Improving conversion has the same effect: more sales from the same traffic reach break-even faster.
